26 barges broke loose on flooded Ohio River
More than two dozen barges broke free and floated down the flooded Ohio River this weekend, threatening bridges and destroying a marina in Pittsburgh along the way. Officials said most of the 26 barges were loaded with dry cargo, such as coal.
The force of the water slammed one of the barges against the cement pier so hard that it bent.
