Southwark Bridge

NTD's Andrew Thomas has more on the event.

Sheep stroll along London's Southwark Bridge.

The flock is taking part in the city's annual sheep drive.

The charity event honors a right dating back to at least 1180 AD, allowing free men to drive sheep across without paying a toll.

[laughs] I thought, "Well, if this is going to be an online series, I should let the world know." And then, of course, I convinced my friends.

And I remember I was standing on Southwark Bridge.

There was absolutely no one there.

And, and I was saying, "Welcome to the online African Concert Series with streamed concerts." And the fact is at the moment, what had happened, it was a com- completely coincidence.

Having studied economics at Cambridge, the merchant banker was named as one of the dead, as was the skipper of the Marchioness, Stephen Faldo.

The accident happened near Southwark Bridge at about 2 a.m. as the 1,475-ton dredger, the Bowbell, one of the biggest vessels on the Thames, smashed into the back of the 90-ton cruiser, flipping it over before hitting it again and running straight over it.

In only 30 seconds, the Marchioness sank with many people still trapped below.

A later inquiry by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch found the accident was caused by limited visibility from the wheelhouse of each vessel, both ships using the center of the river, and the lack of instruction given to the bow bells lookout.
