Tugboat crashes into Luling bridge, two barges of grain sink in Mississippi River

The tugboat was identified as the Cooperative Spirit.
"Two sunk, the remaining 27 were in the process of being corralled," he said at 7 a.m. Sunday.
Coast Guard crews would assess the damage to the other barges and to the bridge after the sun rose, he said. Well damn

A vessel with the same name was involved in a fatal crash with another tugboat earlier this year.
"Two sunk, the remaining 27 were in the process of being corralled," he said at 7 a.m. Sunday.

Sounds like a lot of barges for one tug. Is this typical?
Kind of like a multi float tandem at Mardi Gras I guess.

2 out of 29 seems pretty good.

This is why these guys make 400k a year, if not for the captain all 29 would be lost.

Towboats push barges up and down the river.
Tugboats help large vessels maneuver
