Once on my way to the Market (3 am) I heard a news alert on the radio for metro Detroit. It was about a barge going against the current on the St. Clair river between Canada and the USA. It was going towards a power plant on the USA side, the news said it was headed towards the water inlet of the power plant.
They talked about what a great person the spotter was (he had a spotlight on his house to see freighters at night) and he talked about the Coast Guard, FBI, etc. He said when he turned on his flood light that a small boat sped away back to the Canadian side of the river.
Then hours later... They said it was all wrong and that the barge floated away freely and just crossed the river (against stream) by itself. What do you think really happened? I know, that southeastern Michigan was headed towards a major power outage.
The real news is on the radio very late at night. Square Biz.
Edit: They said the barge had paint stripper and paint on it.
