User ID: 79202234 United States 10/27/2021 04:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Second one in a week, but why a barge loaded with gravel? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81036197 Trying to take out a bridge or a dam? Disgruntled employee? Probably Taliban. More likely to try and disrupt shipping channels. If they sunk a barge in one on if the dry docks, it’d screw up movement of goods along the River. |

There is a lot of barge traffic in this area. Where did the barges come from? Lock and Load! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight for your lives! The Wolves are upon us! |

Haven't heard anyone say where they came from, but the first one was near the Pleasnts/Wood county line, so near Willow Island dam. They haul more than coal. In the 70s a gasoline barge exploded after hitting a bridge and broke most of the windows downtown. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80014044 United States 10/27/2021 03:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now it's three times this week, another one was found overnight. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81036197 All in the same stretch of the Ohio river and near Marietta, Ohio. Someone is making a persistent effort. My first thought was how close is that to where Joe Manchin's houseboat is moored and was surrounded by Antifa goons? But, nope: [link to www.washingtonian.com (secure)] Its value is relatively modest for a DC residence. Manchin bought the boat at a fire-sale price of $220,000 but insured it for $700,000, PolitiFact reported. Assuming it’s still insured for around that amount, Manchin’s got one heck of a deal: The median sales price for single-family homes in DC passed $1 million last year. Manchin lives on a boat because he doesn’t like living here. Yawn to performative Washington-hating, but chagrin about where he’s docked seems to be part of Manchin’s shtick: “‘My worst day as governor was better than my best day as senator,’ ” he told GQ in 2018. He fantasized to reporter Jason Zengerle about the possibility of sailing home on Almost Heaven, though he conceded that would take several weeks. (It’s about a 5 1/2-hour car trip.) Senators like to party on Almost Heaven. Pizza, beer, and merlot are often served on the boat, Time reported in 2014: “Manchin routinely invites Senators from both parties out for evening cruises. ‘Like a Tom Harkin and a Ted Cruz—when would you ever get them together in a room, O.K.?'” Better optics than Cruz’s last vacation, too. Chuck Schumer “thinks it’s his boat,” Manchin told Time. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81036197 United States 10/28/2021 03:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the update. I see they are now saying they are possibly '"hoax devices". Haven't heard them say "hoax" but they've said "suspicious" and "potential explosive". So somebody taped some road flares to an alarm clock? Maybe they'll share what they know at 6:00. |

So somebody taped some road flares to an alarm clock? Maybe they'll share what they know at 6:00. He was making pipe bombs. He was on security video, they traced the pipe purchases and caught him in his vehicle with the pipe, along with the clothes he was wearing when he placed a bomb. Same guy was arrested in a standoff last year. |
