Barge Hits Bridge

"Get 'em off the bridge" .... lol, ok yeah I hear you way up here sunshine.

Just saying... Them harvest ain't gonna tear down the bridge. No need to "get them off the bridge"

thats fucking awsome!!!! Marquette towing is the worst, they have horible captians and even worse deck hands, fucking scumbag ex cons and felons

Something very similar to this happened in my neck of the woods roughly two years ago; it caused flooding on a epic scale for miles around...

Wow that happend in Louisiana

Tugboat: oh gawd wut did I do!
Barges: ahhh ow nooo!
Later... Tugboat: I'm just gonna leave :/

Y'all ever hear about the law of averages.  Sooner or later if you roll the dice long enough you'll come up snake eyes.  Just like the coffee pot crapping out on a 2am call out.

Marquette has been doing that a lot hear lately

My friend said he was in bed on that boat when that happened knocked him in the floor and he got up went looked out seen they wasnt sinking then went back to bed lol

I was on the head when that happened. Not a fun day!

thats right helljumper that is right im a towboater and it can get long and wild

They should've used tht loud mouth bitch as a bumper between the bridge pillar and the barge.

@trinityroughneck tell people to get off the bridge haha

There were issues, but no damage. This will be listed as a "Incident" and not an "Accident".

Captain - "Oh I am soo fired"

Whenever I go on the Spirit of Dubuque the captain always talks about this

How come they don't have wooden pylons by the pilings ? we do here!

@garywayne123 What makes you say that?Isn't almost 12 years of towboating experience from green deckhand through tankerman to a Master 100 tons-Western rivers enough experience to comment on what makes a "bridgebuster" or a simple construction technique to reduce allision damage to bridge piers that can easily be added to any bridge in existence?

@MrBioluminescence appsollutly nothing they could...the pilot did the right thing by prtecting the BOAT

@doughesson u r a dumbass
