LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Crews were working Wednesday to remove three remaining barges that got loose on the Ohio River, including one carrying methanol.

A total of 10 barges got loose early Tuesday on the river near Louisville, the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet said. Most were recovered, but the U.S Army Corp of Engineers said three were pinned against the McAlpine Locks and Dam and the locks are closed to traffic until the barges are stabilized, though river traffic was open through the use of the local vessel traffic services.

One of those barges was carrying 1,400 tons of methanol and was partially submerged, Kentucky officials said.


Note, 10 barges just a few weeks ago

54 weeks is a few?!

Really you just proved feces happens and all the people seeing attacks in all these things are being silly.

With all the alcohol in the water, fish must be inebriated.
