Wasn't as bad as it sounds. Don't know all the details but it was about 1:00AM this morning and according to the news the boat was dead in the middle of the river. In the video you can see a generator on the swim platform and they said they were charging the batteries when the barge was approaching. Looks like it hit dead center and they said they were blowing their horn for 10 minutes as the barge pushed them down the river. The video shows the port side of the boat tilted over pretty far. Not sure if water was coming in. I guess there were no injuries.
