DJ: <br /><br />You obviously posted it first. I guess I just missed your post while darting back and forth from here to my Email.<br /><br />Sorry 'bout that.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
I guess everyone will think twice telling someone that dunked their motor "It's Trashed"<br /><br />I can't believe it, if there weren't pictures...<br /><br />
I couldn't figure out how to post a photo on here this afternoon, but if any of you guys want to see the stupidest human trick with a boat (2nd best to Tugboat), drop me an email and ask me for the picture. It was just sent to me by a friend today and it's a freakin' riot.<br /><br />Email: txsriverrat@hotmail.com
Jesus f-ing christ...that's really something! That's almost too hard to believe...lol<br />I hope nothing like that ever happens to me...If it did, I think I might have to change my *********!
is it possible that we are being hoaxed?<br />this tug must have awesome bilge pumps, <br />and how did it catch up to the barges? wouldn't they have been swept away,<br />or how did the barges get past the bridge?<br />with photo editing software you can't even believe photos anymore.
Hats off to the talented photo manipulator. <br /><br />In the 8th picture the tow boat is 60% under water and in the real boat world that means you are going to the bottom.<br /><br />Thanks for the photos
Where did you get that notion, Happy? <br /><br />Many boats are 60% below the surface level in normal trim.<br /><br />Having read the original news story plus a narrative from the Captain (this actually happened about 1975) I am satisfied that it really happened.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
