While surfing the net, I came across a series of photos that you will not believe.

Go to: http://www.cncphotoalbum.com

Then click on: "Enter here"

Then scroll down to: "Click here to see the AMAZING TUGBOAT Photos!!"

Steve,
My favorite phrase is the one after the tug begins to surface on the downstream side if the bridge.
Thanks for sharing Steve!

Snopes (the source for Urban Legend info.) has "the rest of the story" at <http://www.snopes2.com/photos/towboat.htm>. The fact that this incident occurred a long time before the images became public is almost as interesting as the story itself, IMHO.

Enjoy!

Hi Val,

Maybe I could give it a try over the Lake Allatoona Dam.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I might as well. I can't sell her anyway.<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>
