He is backing as hard as possible to try and avoid a collision with the bridge.

Notice anything unusual? Look at the smoke coming from the exhausts. This thing is running!!! Title: Re: Tugboat Crossing Under the Bridge! Post by: Kathie Shayne on March 16, 2010, 11:03:40 PM (http://800014.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/unusual/tugboat_crossing_underbridge_18.jpg)
Notice the prop wash at the rear of the tug. The boat is upright and back under power. Ho Hum. Just another day on the river. Do you suppose the captain had to change his pants after all that ? |
