of the East River in NYC. I have a feeling that captain is gonna lose his/her command from hitting the Brooklyn Bridge. What the hell was he/she thinking? There's also the Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge to travel under on the East River...and I doubt the Williamsburg Bridge, is higher than the Brooklyn Bridge.
