Folks, when the river and flow-age is up, maneuvering these boats becomes much more challenging. I can't speak for this captain but in the past and after heavy rains on the St Louis, this has happened with other boats.
Yup, it happens...with all our technology, Mother Nature still has her ways...that's why we still need tugs and captains and crews.
