Can you go under the bridge?

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

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.

The current has swung the boat around sideways.

She's low, but the flag is still flying.

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

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

The working deck is still underwater, but rising.

Look at the smoke coming from the exhausts. This thing is running!!!

The boat is upright and back under power.

Just another day on the river.
