The cruise ship bridge was thrown into the sea as it escaped from its moorings
It isn’t the first time a ship has caused chaos within a port.
One cruise ship broke free from the port during a strong storm.
The Carnival Cruise ship had already broken down in the Gulf when it escaped its restraints.
It then crashed into another ship as well.

Thankfully no-one was injured, although the crash was thought to have caused some expensive damage to both ships.
Workers in the area can be seen looking on as they crash, being helpless at stopping the huge cruise liners.
The man narrating the filming is the star of the show, stating in a strong American accent rather obviously: “They need help!”
One YouTube user then remarked: “Best commentary ever. I want Americans to narrate my life.”
