My little bowlegged banjo player and I had a great time hanging on the Ohio
this weekend. We caught a tasty dinner for Sunday and saw many sights, I
have a cool video of a coal barge burning...really just smoking badly from
hot coal" and some hang gliding footage...I will upload some time to
youtube.

GREAT WEEKEND

Most coal has a goodly amount of hydrocarbons in it. It is highly
subject to spontaneous combustion. Power plants pack the piles with a
roller, to exclude air. Otherwise they catch fire. The smoke means
that the coal in that barge is on fire.

*Burning* it was a AEP Towboat and hell yes it was burning and I'm sure they
had water on it,,, I have experience with such things as Towboats and marine
transportation. I would have stopped the boat and dowsed the flames....this
guy could be on the nightly news on up the Ohio,

What they do is is pump the barge with water and let it smoke out, you
should see the coal bits when the pump them out..., like black sand along
the sandy banks of the lower Ohio,
