BARGE HITS RAILWAY BRIDGE AS TUG
MANEUVERS TO AVOID SAILBOAT


The sailboat clearly was in the wrong. The only quibble is that perhaps the
tow/barge could have acted sooner.


Maybe the sailboat had a 12 hp engine that just couldn't hack it. The
sailboat owner should have known what to expect and given way to the
tug, Its like jaywalking in front of a bus.
