Algiers point claims another.
One of the worst spots imaginable to lose power, steering or have any kind of problem.
The current is booking around the point. Also the deepest spot in the river.
The boat was light so it had a huge sail area. You get wonky in that spot under the right conditions and it's game over.

Yea.
If you're anywhere else other than a stbd side deck you're pretty fricked. Once it's laid over, you have to go up to get out, and boats aren't designed for you to be able to go up when the boat is laid over. It's virtually impossible to climb your way up and out.

Why do you think that? Because it was empty it was headed up river?
Because I know who had it chartered and where it was headed.

Now multiply the size and physics of that by 800 or so. If a ship has a complete black out, other than trying to steer with anchors you’re at the mercy of the current, wind, and whatever way the ship was swinging when it lost power
Has it been confirmed if it was headed up or down river?
I was guessing down river, when if it lost power, the eddies in the river forced it into a port direction then into paddle wheeler.

It’s my dream that my species will stop being so unoriginal and predictable when something like this happens as to not post this comment

Solid work by the pushboat to hold it against the bank. Good thinking.

Nungesser just said on WWL that he got a text saying everyone is accounted for.

This would be a miracle if true with how fast that ship turned over.

Wwl radio saying lost power south of the bridge and passed under bridge without power

Right. That's hard to believe but amazing if true.

You can see the anchor chain leading back in the video. Seems like it didn’t do anything

It was dragging the port anchor, might have had the stbd bite and turn the ship into the bank.
