wow that's really amazing. i'm surprised the captain was able to hold on the whole time.

:wow: Wow. Considering what happened to that tug, they were very lucky! :sweat:

I'd love to read the report by the captain to the NTSB/Coast Guard (since he hit the bridge and went under).

I wonder what happened to him further down stream... looks like he was still listing pretty badly, and I'm not sure that the bottom deck ever cleared back above the water line...

Still, he's one lucky SOB...

So the barge itself just went under the bridge while the tugboat did a lil "maneuvering"? Whats going on here... Thats not photoshopped, by chance?

LOL, good thing it fixed itself...I woulda loved to be able to see someone try to explain that. "I was ging down the river and the bridge wasn't up yet. I didn't stop though...."
