If you thought semi crashes and train derailments were bad, I hate to report that watercraft have now entered the fray:

A tugboat was reportedly towing 11 barges on Tuesday morning along the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky when 10 came loose. Three crashed into the McAlpine Dam, and one of those – a barge carrying toxic wood alcohol, or methanol, was partially submerged and pinned against the dam.

It took roughly 10 hours for the Army Corp of Engineers to recover the barge.

From ABC:

The Army Corp of Engineers said it recovered the barge pinned against the pier by noon Tuesday. It wrote in a statement that the remaining six barges were recovered, adding that the dam's locks will remain closed until the "barges on the dam are stabilized."

Authorities say the nearest intake for drinking water was a hundred miles away, so water should be safe to drink for residents.

The closest water intake on the Ohio River from the affected dam is in Henderson, Kentucky -- more than 100 miles away from Louisville, according to the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.

"There is no impact to Louisville Water's water intake or water quality," the utility company wrote in a tweet. "Your water is safe to drink."

Probably true, but they seem to be saying that a lot after accidents these days!
