Raise The Bridge

Hello again Everyone. I'm back with something a bit new. In the past most of our stuff has been centred around animals in the outdoors. this post has nothing to do about animals, but it is still an outdoor Abnormality. I received this email form my Dad and after I read the story I had to read it again and look at the pictures all over even more closely.

What you see is a normal day on the river for this barge and tow boat. What you don't see is how high the river is and how fast it's moving.


Barge and tow boat





Barge makes it through no problem




Raise the bridge the tow boat is coming



I said raise the Bridge and um why are these people still on the bridge?



Crap it's too lat we hit the bridge why didn't you raise the bridge



Um the water is going to fast and the tow boat still wants to go under the bridge

We are about to go under



Bye Bye





They made it under the bridge





Hey the boat is up righting it's self





Look at all the water pouring out




Even more water pours out





She's almost up right I'm still wondering why the didn't raise the bridge



Now the question is how do we stop her from floating down the river?



I know how we'll just start up the engines and do it our self. Notice the smoke and the prop wash.



Just another day on the river. Oh by the way did the company who built the boat get some sort of government contract. If they didn't they sure should have that boat is one well built boat.



I wish I knew what river this happened on and how the captain handled the whole ordeal but for now it's just a mystery. I do know that this must have happened before digital cameras or I guess the people in the photos could have been stuck back in the 80's or maybe even the 70's I guess we will never know.

Hope you enjoyed today's Abnormal Outdoors photos.
