Title: For professionals only..dont try this at home
Post by: luckee on February 26, 2002, 07:44:14 PM
Do not try this at home.  Remember, this is a professional captain.

The towboat is approaching the bridge with barges loaded with coal.

This frame gives you an idea of how fast the river is running.  Obviously at or near flood stage

Oh CRAP!!!  The bridge didn\'t open and the boat can\'t stop.  Notice that the tug has released the barges. He is backing as hard as possible to try and avoid a collision with the bridge.

Can\'t back down enough against the current.

Uh Oh!  The current has swung the boat around sideways.

The cook thinks maybe something isn\'t quite right.

Uh... Boss?  Do we have flood insurance on this boat?

The wheelhouse door and the door in the second deck are now open. Look close at the bottom righthand side of the picture and you will see that the bridge guardrail is underwater.

That\'s pretty impressive.  I wonder what happened to the coal?

Look at the water pouring out of the second deck doorway.

The working deck is still underwater, but rising.

Notice anything unusual?  Look at the smoke coming from the exhausts.  This thing is running!!!

Notice the propwash at the rear of the tug.  The boat is upright and back under power.




Ho Hum.  Just another day on the river.

That\'s amazing.  Did you pull those from a story somewhere?  I would be a little pissed off at the bridge tendor.  Or lack thereof.

I did that once.  Except, replace the tugboat with a skateboard, and the river with a crowd of people.

Come to think of it Trog, so did I. Back in grade school I used to play a game called Rover-Red-Rover. All these kids would stand on one end of a field with their arms locked together and yell "rover-red-rover let so-and-so come over". With a running start you would dart to their end of the feild and try to break through. Some of the unfortunate vertically challenged kids wound up on the ground.

Can you say, "tight roped"!  OUCH!

We use to sing "Red-rover red-rover send _____ right over."  Almost the same thing, must be a "cultural" difference.
