One can move a really heavy object with little power on water. Don't understand why the two Sherriff boats do not try to push the barges off the side and head them for a sand bar. Not much too lose but maybe allot to gain.
They weigh 3800 tons. It's gonna take multiple tug boats to move those things in that current.
They just hit the lock and dam, and weird seeing one totally submerged
We don’t need no stinkin’ barges!
The barges are stuck on the dam currently.

What kind of boats do the Sheriffs have? This I want to see!
Barges appear at about 16:40min. into the video or 1:14:35(clock timer):

Wasn't thinking anything other than steering them into the bank but mute point now. Glad they didn't do any damage.
Do we know that the barges aren't pushed against the face of the dam below the water line? I hear several saying the barges were crumpled to bits, but I only saw for certain the light weight roofing was crumpled to bits. I hope the damage isn't occurring in time as the diverted water maybe undercutting the dam.
That would be like lassoing a Bison, once you had him roped, you could make him go anywhere he wants to go.
