As the ship was sailing in the middle of the night, the propulsion system stopped working. As a result, the ship went out of control. Unable to change direction, it went straight and hit the bridge hard. Anticipating a collision, the crew alerted with a Mayday signal. President Biden thanked the Indian personnel who alerted earlier. Finally, the crew threw anchors into the water to stop the ship. As soon as the staff was alerted, the traffic on the bridge was stopped. Had the same not happened, the loss of life would have been huge. Already 20 people fell into the river along with some vehicles. Videos of this accident are going viral on social media.
