Why do barges break loose? Can’t find any info.
Does remind me a of story from 40 years ago. Person on the river told me they lost some barges on the Mississippi. They couldn’t find one of the barges that contained something not so good. The boss said to him, “suppose we ought to tell anyone?”
The river is very unpredictable in the spring.
HOW do barges break loose? Aren’t they secured with mooring lines fore and aft? Both lines failing at the same time? On 26 barges? Color me skeptical.
