Ooops!

Just imagine... relaxing with a beer on a nice evening down in the flats. Boat docked, hotties checking it out asking for a ride - then you see the freighter getting closer and closer...

From the PD --

One boat sank and another was damaged this evening behind a Flats nightclub when a freighter moving up the Cuyahoga River hit the two docked boats.

The freighter Cuyahoga hit the boats, which were docked behind Shooters on the Water, about 5:15 p.m. The boat that sank had two large gas tanks and is leaking oil, said Petty Officer Matthew Schofield.

The Coast Guard's Unified command, including the state's Department of Natural Resources, is deciding how to clean up the spill. The area around the submerged boat is cordoned off to keep any oil from spreading and a dive team is checking to see if they can stop the leak, Schofield said.

The Coast Guard is investigating why the Cuyahoga, a 605-foot freighter carrying a full load of gravel, hit the boats and what amount of damage it caused, said Lt. Col. Linda Sturgis.

I sure would hate to be these guys!
