A seafood eatery aboard a barge broke from its moorings on the flood-swollen Ohio River, then drifted downriver during the dinner rush before emergency crews rescued 83 patrons using a precarious gangplank of ladders and ropes, authorities said Saturday.


Covington Fire Department Capt. Chris Kiely said diners at Jeff Ruby's Waterfront restaurant used cell phones to call for help Friday night as the restaurant floated about 100 feet downstream. Everyone on board, including former Cincinnati Bengals star Cris Collinsworth, was safe after the hours-long rescue, Kiely told The Associated Press. All were led off one at a time, wearing life jackets.full article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/football/nfl/03/12/collinsworth.kentucky.restaurant.ap/index.html?eref=sihp

I wonder if Uncle Cris thought the fire fighters had "high motors" as they rescued the barge?

This is too funny. Westside the firefighters were probably overachievers that make the best out of their abilities.

 

[Westside]

Yeah WA 33, they used deceptive speed to save Uncle Cris from drowning or at least prevented him from getting his 3k dollar suit wet.

 

[LabMan]

wonder if they were using "stumbling,bumbling" running styles getting to the rescue attempt?

Fun stuff! I wish there were eyewitness reports of Collinsworthless being scared while adrift.
