"I'd like to know how one goes about capsizing a barge."Public school graduates who passed the outcome based geometry class and basic physics class. IOWs if you put all the weight on one side the boat, truck, or bus ect, tips.
If the barge had been loaded with drums of acid and loaded that way, I could understand it, but the pictures and descriptions indicate that this was just one big floating tank. I don't know how you could get the 235,000 gallons loaded unevenly.
But something obviously made it flip over, and it certainly wasn't wind or water action.
