They are very lucky to be alive after that little stunt. I wonder what it sounded like as the Tug went under the bridge.

You know for the first 5 seconds or more after the boat came upright, everyone on that boat just stared at each other with the same question on their mind... "Did that really just happen?"



I would not have belived it if I had not seen it.

makes you wonder what idiot ordered the river tow move. Especially at floodstage. Missisippi shuts down whenever its at floodstage.



Also... want to know what righted this tug back up???? Diesel Fuel !!!!!!!!!!! Seriously... .



Engines were twin 16-149 Detroits. Starboard engine was still running... Port one was destroyed.
