A day on the river.

You guys have got to see this! This is a photo essay of why you don't want to have a bad day at work</font color=blue>.

Holy #$%&!!! That is unbelievable!! Do you have any more information about that?

 

[Von]

I wonder if the crew stayed on board for the ride!

 

[MarkV]

Wow, that is unreal. I would not have bet 10 cents that it was even possible. Thanks for the post, it was well worth the look.

That's one amazing set of pictures! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Talk about a seaworthy boat! It must have some serious bulkheads in that hull.

Wonder if the captain had any kind words for the guy controlling the bridge?

That drama was better than an Arnie Swartzenneger movie!

If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it. That would have called for a change of shorts!

Wow. I've worked around a lot of barge traffic, but I've NEVER seen that before!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif holy smokes and nobody got hurt..whew.
That should be foreward to Real TV.

 

[njrqs]

Holy crap alright.

We need more details on this.

Surely it would have made the news, even way over here !!

Cheers

I looked carefully at the pics to see if it was faked but it looks real to me. Amazing it didn't take out part of the bridge, get stuck under and that it righted itself and had power. Also was amazed the barges didn't float off to the Gulf of Mexico.

Would it be rude if we all chipped in and sent the Captain a tilt meter?

The following text is now at the URL of the link that begins this thread.

A few days ago this site contained an incredible series of pictures of a towboat being washed under a bridge and then popping up on the other side. An awesome display of the power of a river at flood stage.
Almost as incredible is the amount of internet traffic the pictures drew to the site. Thousands upon thousands of internet travelers from all over the globe visited this site and and a second one that was set up primarily for ease of editing. The other site, at annex-group.com, was on space rented from Rapidsite. Under ordinary circumstances the site had ample capacity for my needs. The site reached my maximum limit around 3:00 am and the Rapidsite server sent a message to my site manager at that time. By the time he checked his email at 8:00 am the overuse charges had run into the thousands of dollars. The exact amount is still being determined.

I want to set one thing straight right here and now. Bellsouth has not charged me anything for over use of this site. In fact, I have not had any contact with them.

I would encourage anyone who owns a web site to read the fine print concerning your liability in the event something like this happens to you.

Well, it goes to show you that you better be careful on what you post to your website!!

Dang, never got to see the pictures either.... /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif
