Search for tugboat or towboat. It happened a while back at Rooster Bridge on the Tombigbee River in southwest Alabama. The accounts of another tug captain and witness are on snopes. Oh, BTW, one area that most civilized Alabamians steer clear of is the land around the Tombigbee and Warrior Rivers. There be dragons there.  |  IP: Logged
