News reports are saying a 38' tug sank on the Columbia River about 10 miles upstream from McNary Dam. A further update (and tonight's news program) said the tug was tied to a barge on Friday night, secured by 6 steel cables. When the workers went down there today around 1:00 the tug was not secured to the barge any more. They spotted it, sunk, nearby where they had tied it up.
Their major concern is the 750 gallons of diesel that was on board. A crane will be brought to the site on Wednesday to lift the tug out of the water.
