The ship travels from decatur, alabama up through the tennessee river, to the ohio, then to the mississippi, and down to florida. there is a discussion on the kentucky board if you want more information.
I saw that on the news. It happened around 8 pm so it was dark when this occurred.
What a mess they created. That bridge was old and slated to be rebuilt in a few years anyway, but I doubt this has helped anything.
Makes me wonder how the captain could not see the bridge or know it's height or his ships height. I wonder if the captain was AWOL from the Bridge or drinking or on drugs or something? This will inconvience a lot of people.

Ship was in the secondary channel and went under the wrong span. It has made numerous trips before on the TVA. That ship is a dedicated carrier of rocket boosters for NASA and runs from IL down to Decatur AL.
