It blows my mind how little the public know about river industry.
Yea, referring to the tug as a barge ect. As time goes on the once commercial river is slow turning back to a wild, or at least to a quiet river, at least here in Minneapolis and St.Paul. There is even less fishing/powerboat traffic and the first few locks on the system are either permanently closed or reduced hours of operation. As I understand, cutbacks are because of less use and in the case of the Upper St. Anthony lock, to stop invasive asan carp from spreading north.
Some groups have been calling for the removal of St. Anthony locks as well as L&D #1.
My thoughts exactly
It ain't a barge damnit it's a towboat
They got into a "damn bit of trouble!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is a pity that the reporter wouldn't spend a few minutes to learn what a barge is versus a tug, etc. There are few things more irritating than a news person BSing their way through a story.
But he has the new correct skin color, abilities to do the job be damn.
It’s actually a Towboat not a tug..smh
@@timtripp4222😂
A barge hauls grain. It has no motor. It is a big box. A tug pushes barges. It was a tug boat accident - not a barge accident. Make sure at least one person in your news room has a high school education.
Your expectations of our local news media are a bit too high. They do best at fanning flames of discontent
My local news does the same sort of thing all the time. It just amazes me how people will get on air and say things about which they have no idea or inkling of knowledge.
Technically there considered a red flag barge if they have oils and other products like these 2 30s where probably lube oil I work for a company that works for cbc we call grain barges hoppers
High water in the spring and now it's the lowest it's ever been
That isn't true. Here in La Crosse WI we had lower water not long after the river locks were in place and again in the mid-fifties. In the late 30s, water was listed locally at nearly 2' lower than current river stage.
@@vongroven115 Well here in Memphis it's the lowest on record.
2 months later. What do you think now?
There's another 10' rise coming down now.
Media is a joke. I'm at 363LMR. We were lower than it was a couple tines.
Media "Mississippi River is drying up" Two months ago I posted.
"In a few months Mississippi River flooding."
😆 🤣 😂
I hate to barge in here like this but frankly I don't give a dam
It used to be that if a newspaper opened In a town,the reporters had to learn the lingo of the local industries.
A reporter only has to ask pertinent questions,take accurate notes,use proper grammar & spelling for print media,keep their personal opinions out of the story & pronounce place names like the locals do.
Bro it’s not a barge it’s a Towboat
It looked like the reporter tossed something , but it was a bird 🦅 . LoL 😂
It’s hilarious when folks try to use terminology from our industry. People really have no clue. Keep it between the banks guys. We are always just seconds away from being the subject of their next amateur assessment.
Ummm a long cable and a tug boat to pull it out?
Ha ha ha ha . Hooray Hooray. Looks cool.
Not a barge a towboat
Drug test..
thats prolly gonna be the least of his problems🤣
300 from bull nose lol
Bout to touch up,Cappy!
Canal barge line
The slightest bit of research could have prevented this reporting being so foolish. Improper use of the term “barge” makes this report laughable at best. Better used as fertilizer for the spreading of ignorance.

If there is any structural damage are those of us down river going to be notified about possible flooding?
I live by lock 12,at most they hold back about 4 ft of water.This time of year during high water the gates are raised and are holding nothing. Think you'll be safe.
The lock and dams have never been for flood control but to allow river traffic to enter and exit different pools by lifting the boats to and down.
The dams regulate the minimum water depth in the pool or section of river directly up river from them, but only a lift of drop of a few feet at most.
@@vongroven115 thanks for that, I thought they were more of a dam type structure. Water is still rising down here in La Crosse Wisconsin, we’re at 10.5’ flood level is 12’
