Barges carrying toxic methanol break loose on Ohio River.

Ten barges broke loose from a tugboat on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, with three of them settling next to part of the McAlpine Dam. Emergency teams are working to secure the barges, including one carrying 1,400 metric tons of methanol that is partially submerged. There is currently no evidence of a tank breach or any leaks, and air and water monitoring resources are in place. The situation is being closely monitored by various agencies, including ORSANCO, but there are no reports of chemicals being released into the Ohio River.
