So what happened? Wind pushed it away from the dock and the ramp fell into the drink?

Try a different prop or get an f150 to pull it back in.
I thought that they were going to rip the walkway off the ship when they were raising it up and the ship was coming to the dock…..

Shit happens. And there was certainly no lack of shit in this particular operation. Equipment failure, lack of communication, lack of training or perhaps all of that? Many of the line handlers on the dock weren’t even wearing hard hats. WTF? The problems were not due to insufficient mooring line sizes. Assume there were no injures? If so, that’s very fortunate with the amount of F ups taking place.

Looked substandard lines and amount of lines to us.
This is what we're used to seeing:
