    Is it a Tugboat or a Submarine?


    JUST ANOTHER DAY IN LOUISIANA


    Tugboat....
    this is unbelievable!
    Do not try this at home. Remember, this is a professional captain.


    http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6420/image00112bs.jpg

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





    http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/1613/image00229vp.jpg

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






    http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4594/image00334eq.jpg

    Oh FUDGE!!!

    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.







    http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2191/image00442yv.jpg

    Can't back down enough against the current.[​IMG]






    http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/5167/image00667gt.jpg

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





    http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/8189/image00771wl.jpg

    The cook thinks maybe something isn't quite right.






    http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/9288/image00883ki.jpg

    The boss is going to be REAL mad!





    http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/1520/image00990ig.jpg

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






    http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2934/image010103uy.jpg

    Uh.... Boss? You ain't gonna believe what we just did!

    The wheelhouse door and the door in the second deck are now open.

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





    http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/2426/image017173er.jpg

    The working deck is still underwater, but rising.

    http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9329/image019192rt.jpg

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




    http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9329/image019192rt.jpg

    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!!
