Barge that stopped traffic
Tv crew was funny WJTV reporter could not get anything right.Ninja had to start over like 6-8 times.Kept messing up and then just quit trying and they left bout 3 mins before that bad boy started breaking up, with some carzy booty sounds as it sank and the tops started popping and breaking...
My name is Rick Daughtry.......
Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went
I met too many good looking girls and that's where my money went
Yeah I know just where it went
No I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
thats in vicksburg i assume.
that is one of the worst places in the MS river. its a perfect storm of current, bend in river, tributary entering main river, and bridge pilings.

Grain and coal is what the news said

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
cool pics. That river is a bad dude, especially right now.
There will be a day....
Re: Barge that stopped traffic
i didn't know it was cross-ways...and sunk! only reports i heard was that a barge had bumped the pylon and they were inspecting it to make sure it was safe for road traffic. one of the few times the media didn't capitalize on "wow" factor.
Experience is a freakin' awesome teacher...

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
I imagine the current is a little swift for some tight lining.

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
You are right. Never seen a covered coal barge. That is amazing.

It was grain. If you all haven't gone to http://vicksburgdailynews.com , check it out. It is an online newspaper for Vicksburg.

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
We had one full of corn sink up river side of a dike a few years back and there was some kind of catfish caught.

Re: Barge that stopped traffic
Can you imagine how that Tug Pilot felt as he watched his payload sink?!?! That's got to be a stressful occupation.
Re: Barge that stopped traffic
There was or still is a crane that sank there when they built Ameristar. That spot has bad luck.

Hearing that the Coast Guard is going to close I20 bridge today for further inspection...if you are headed that way, be prepared to detour...
