Towboat disaster

[Hisham]

What happens when a flooded river sends a towboat speeding into a bridge that's too low for it to pass under? Will the towboat smash against the bridge? Will the bridge be destroyed? Can the boat fight against the current and stop itself before it's too late?

Check out the amazing photos of the 1979 incident here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/~soldier/towboat.htm).

holy cow!! or should i say... inconceivable!! amazing - if they could get the coal barge to jump over the bridge, the tow boat can meet them on the other side and go on its merry way!! :huh:
