The 90 meter long, 3881 dwt tanker Houn Maru allided with a bridge over Osaka Bay near the Kansai International Airport, Osaka, Japan. The Houn Maru had been at anchor when it was swept by gale force winds from Typhoon Jebi. The tanker’s anchor dragged until the Houn Maru struck the bridge with extreme force. The vessel’s superstructure struck into the road deck crushing its starboard side. The tanker’s hull sustained multiple breaches and water ingress which flooded the engine room.
Authorities were able to safely evacuate all 11 crew on board the Houn Maru. No reports of injuries. Reports state the Houn Maru had no cargo on board and no reports yet of any pollution released.
One section of the 3700 meter long bridge sustained severe damage shifting it several meters off its pier. Authorities have stated the amount of damage to the bridge makes it unsafe for traffic. Authorities state is will be at least several weeks before repairs can be completed.

Typhoon Jebi
The most powerful typhoon in 25 years has hit Japan, and is perfectly in line with the airport that I’m supposed to be arriving at on Thursday morning. Hopefully all will be okay, but I’ve seen some pretty scary videos on it. I might either be stranded in Amsterdam (my connecting flight from the UK) or stuck in a flooded airport once I reach Japan, with no way out *as far as I’m aware* until the typhoon passes and the roads are reopened.
I believe one person has died as a result of the typhoon and several have been injured. I just hope that it doesn’t claim any more lives..
@Mother Nature: who the fuck incurred your wrath in Japan, because bro, this summer has been rough
Watch out for Jebi... it’s a monster. Stay safe, everyone in Japan. Thoughts and prayers go out to you.
I'm back from Japan!
My trip was extended because of a typhoon. Best thoughts and wishes to those affected more significantly by it.
Other than that I had an amazing time. I ate a lot, saw a lot, and bought a lot. Most importantly though, I laughed and smiled lots and lots and made some fantastic memories with my friends.
Hope you all are doing great! It's nice to be back!
Not to make light of Typhoon Jebi, but this just happened on the news.
News reporter: I’m looking outside, and it seems really hard to walk out there! *Camera zooms in on trees shaking around violently, then zooms back out*
Man: *Goes barreling past the camera in business attire, no umbrella or poncho in sight, doing the Naruto Run*
