MSC Armonia crashes into dock in Honduras

It's not THAT great of a video, but it's something that you don't see everyday either

Well at least it can't be blamed on a drunk Captain.

They apparently tried dropping anchor to slow that runaway down.

 

[DFSNOLE]

That had to suck.

Bad day at the office.

When we docked in Roatan in February, there was a group of dancers performing native dances 100 feet from the ship. That would've really sucked for them. But that looks like a different dock.

*Edit Looking at this video, it looks like the same dock.

This is the original cruise dock in the island's main town, Coxen Hole. There's a newer pier - Mahogany Bay - on the other side of the island that Carnival built around 10 years ago - their ships (and the other lines they own) mainly use the newer one.
The one at Coxen Hole you walk off the ship, short pier, and you're in the town. Mahogany Bay is a long walk on a huge dock, then wind through some shops, then up a winding sidewalk up the hill to the road.
The other way to tell them apart is that the Coxen Hole dock is right by the airport

Yeah. When I saw the video I posted, I recognized the balcony those folks were standing on.

Coxen Hole.

That's what she said.

I know the blame will ultimately rest with the Captain, but I didn't see any harbor pilots around to guide the ship.

Those bow thrusters weren't budging the ship post crash.
