A newly built cruise liner has hit a bridge in Eastern China.

The moment the $44m (£28m) liner's funnel struck the bridge in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, was caught on CCTV.

No injuries were reported and traffic on the bridge was not affected. Investigations are under way into how the accident occurred.

What's to investigate?  :undecided:

It's pretty obvious the ship was either too high or the bridge was too low....  :winker:
