"Uncontrollable Barges: Pittsburgh's Ohio River Chaos"

Twenty-six barges broke loose in Pittsburgh, drifting uncontrollably down the Ohio River, with one still unaccounted for. The vessels, loaded with dry cargo, caused extensive damage to Peggy’s Harbor and disrupted bridge and rail traffic. No injuries or pollution were reported, and efforts are underway to locate the missing barge. The incident occurred under high water conditions, resulting in strong currents due to flooding in the area.
