Sorry guys. My POS computer has been acting up the last few days. It won't even let me defrag it without freezing.

I give up.

LOOL

Is it the video clip of a tugboat that manage to pass under a bridge that is only 2 inches higher than the water and just sail on down the river like nothing happened?

Nope.

It's several pictures of a tugboat with a huge load of coal or something. It breaks loose of its cargo before hitting the bridge, hits the bridge and does a sommersault under the bridge!

It then comes out the other side, rights itself, and continues to go downriver, draining water all the way.

I still have the link and will post once I get my computer figured out.

That's the one i meant. It's been a while since i've seen it, so i remembered it as a videoclip.

It's pretty famous. A Google search for "diving tugboat" will give 6870 hits!

There was a thread on this before. I think someone on this board may have put up the original pictures a few years ago.

I teach river canoeing. One of the basic rules if you hit an obstacle, is never lean upstream. I guess the tugboat captain never heard of that rule.
