That's the pilot house of a 110' long 26' wide tug just sticking out of the
water in that picture. I've been along side the Elizabeth M on my little
section of the Kanawha River a number of times. According to most reports,
they were on their way out of the Montgomery Island Lock, heading up the
Ohio, when the current caught the barges and swung them toward the dam. The
crew untied the tug and tried to swing around and catch the barges, but the
tug and three of six barges were swept over the dam. Four men dead. A few
local pilots have commented that the rain swollen river should have been
closed to traffic before the accident.
