Naw. River pilots will circle the wagons. Protect their own.

Tow boat captain, not a river pilot.

river is up right now. been a couple years since any decent current. shite's gonna happen. no room for error. if a barge gets loose, it's gone.

Aldredge said a man who was riding a Segway along the Vidalia riverfront told him the bridge had been struck


Maybe the towboat pilot was distracted by the sight of a Segway cruising along the levee.

Picture taken from a Vidalia motel of a barge coming down the river.

That's the bridge folks.
