Video of Duckboat Being Run Down by Barge Released

On July 7, 2010, a barge struck the disabled “Duck boat” DUKW 34 at anchor in the Delaware River off Philadelphia.  Of the 35 passengers aboard, two died.  Last November, the tug’s mate was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for his role in the collision.  Today, lawyers representing the two victim’s families in a civil wrongful death lawsuit, released a previously unseen video of the collision.  Thanks to Tony Seideman for passing it along.
