Footage of a 282-foot superyacht smashing into a bridge in Simpson Bay, Saint Martin on Sunday quickly went viral on the internet.
And while the clip showed most spectators fleeing in fright as the vessel came perilously close to their nearby wooden deck, two wine-drinking women refused to budge from their prime position on the waterfront.
The laid-back ladies have quickly caught the attention of Twitter users, with many admiring their nonchalance, even as the bridge’s control booth was ripped away by the yacht just inches from where they were sitting.
One popular tweet, which has been liked more than 178,000 times, reads: ‘Obsessed with the two women who just sit there with their wine and don’t even move’.
Another tweet paid tribute to the ‘two lovers of wine who DGAF when a cruise ship overshot a pier’.
The duo were even splashed by water after the control booth fell into the ocean, but they still stayed sitting with their drinks and soaking up the sun on their Caribbean vacation.

One Twitter user claimed that the women seemed reluctant to give up their plum perch by the water, writing: ‘No way they’re giving that spot up!’
Meanwhile, another Twitter user remarked that the ladies were his ‘2020 goals’.
‘2020 Goals: To be unmoved by chaos. Grounded throughout adversity. Steadfast during the storm. And able to comfortably drink wine while watching a real life version of that movie with the cruise ship casually crashes into things it shouldn’t.’
Sunday’s superyacht accident was believed to have occurred due to adverse wind which cause the vessel to veer right and hit the bridge.
No one was harmed during the incident, and the bridge is still fully functional.

The boat, named Ecstasea, was commissioned by Russian-Israeli businessman Roman Abramovich in 2004, who built his fortune during the opening up of the Soviet Union to private business in the early 1990s.
It was constructed by First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders, a collaboration between two Dutch shipyards known for building the custom superyachts. At the time, it was the largest vessel the group had built.
In 2009, Abramovich sold the vessel to Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, for $120 million. Sheikh Mohammed then sold it to shipping magnate Alshair Fiyaz in 2014.
