Just caught the story about the olympic barge been towed along the river , ok it looks impressive in size but a couple of thing's to question.
1, why was there only one tug connected , yes there were two in attendance but the second was only an assistance tug and in the last few seconds of the pictures shown the barge was gaining on the towing tug , and the only way to stop the collision is for the tug to power up and take up the slack.
2, what happened to the painters , did they run out of paint as the rings are only painted on one side
