LOL, that had me giggling, they even managed to set the engine room on fire when they knocked the lum off, class, the pilot who was guiding that one will be in big sh1t, imagine not checking the height of the bridge.
i'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the wheel house as they were coming up to it..." that looks a bit low...no we're ok, went over the top...OH sh1t..forgot the funnel, DOH!!".

So, bridge operators fault. Maybe he saw the lowish outline of the hull go through and forgot about the wheelhouse etc?
