A small boat collided with a tug this morning opposite the coal piers. Waterway has been cut off between James River Bridge & I-664 delaying the Gerald R. Ford's return to NN, the Balsa 92's egress from Hopewell, and who knows who else. Very little on the news, and much of what I'm seeing is on a ship tracking app.
From what I can tell, 4 people have been recovered and two are still missing. News reports indicate that the staging area is Huntington Park boat ramp, there's a Command Post at 23rd St. with park there possibly closed.
So there might be some good listening. I'm going to be down that way in the 1:30-2:00p zone tomorrow afternoon, but things might be getting back to normal by then. This happened at a place that would be difficult to see anywhere but from that park at the end of 23rd St.
