At least six people were aboard a pontoon boat that was partially crunched when Cato's Bridge began to open on April 1. 

Video posted to social media shows boaters jumping off the craft as the moveable span of the drawbridge comes down on the top of it. 

The incident happened at about 2:30 p.m., when the boaters appeared to tie the pontoon onto the bridge to escape rain near the Jupiter Lighthouse.

  1. Those bridges open timely.
    They don’t just open because a boat pulls up.
    That was just plain stupid to park there.

  2. Remember God loves you♥️!
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    If you trust in Jesus Christ and repent, you will be saved..
    He is coming back soon😊☺….
