@disrupsi Detik-detik kapal tongkang menabrak struktur jembatan terekam warga. Dalam video, terekam kapal tongkang besar menyusuri sungai dengan kecepatan rendah. Benar saja, tidak lama, kapal tongkang yang memuat batubara itu menabrak bagian besi pelindung struktur utama. Atas kejadian itu, struktur yang tertabrak kapal sampai terlihat bergetar cukup hebat. Sontak warga yang berada di sekitar lokasi berteriak kaget dengan kejadian itu. Terlebih dari sisi bawah, kendaraan-kendaraan yang melintasi jembatan masih terlihat berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Setelah menabrak, kapal itu masih melaju dan melewati jembatan. Beruntung kondisi jembatan terlihat masih kokoh meski tertabrak kapal yang sangat besar. Warganet pun menjelaskan, tongkang tersebut hanya menabrak tiang fender pelindung struktur utama, sehingga cenderung aman. Beberapa yang lain menyebut prosedur yang perlu dilakukan sebelum melintasi jembatan, yakni harus memutar tongkang dulu agar meminimalisir kejadian tersebut. #CapCut #tongkang #tongkangbatubara #kapaltongkang #batubara #muarateweh ♬ original sound - Disrupsi
Fortunately, the bridge appeared to remain sturdy despite being struck by the very large vessel. Netizens explained that the barge only collided with the fender pillar protecting the main structure, thus it was relatively safe.
Some others mentioned the necessary procedures to be undertaken before crossing the bridge, such as rotating the barge first to minimize such incidents.
