Twenty-six barges loaded mostly with dry cargo broke loose from a Pittsburgh marina late Friday night and floated uncontrollably down the Ohio River, causing extensive damage to neighboring docks according to officials.
The barges, which broke away from a vessel at the first mile marker, have all been accounted for but caused a substantial amount of damage to Peggy’s Marina. A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard said 23 of the barges were loaded with nonhazardous dry cargo including coal, and three were empty.

Something is definitely wrong with the world today. I still say it's hiring unqualified people for jobs because of DEI diversity hires.

Bunch of barges broke loose?

Could this be just another "accident"?
Who benefits in the end?

I have a fairly low opinion of yankees, but it is getting hard to believe all these "accidents".
Couple that with an open border, and I am flashing back to the fears if the cold war went hot that they discussed in the original red dawn pretty well. Small groups slipped in to cause havoc, I am waiting for the hits on the electric grid at this point.

Our government has so much blood on it's hands (wars included , wars are just political theater started by those who benefit and aren't forced to sent their kids to fight) .
If you count Covid in as well, all 'suicided' people, all psyop flag events, the list is endless.
Their time will come when they will pay for all their crimes though

This is not a big deal, it happens more than you think. I live near the Ohio and the reason I'm not fishing is because the river is at flood stage. You Do Not play around when it's like that. The current is ripping through, large trees and all sorts of logs and driftwood in the water. Considering the profile of barges, the water exerts massive pressure on them and it's a wonder this doesn't happen more often.
