.TOO many armchair detectives. It easily could have someone with a grudge against the company like a past employee or anyone else that is just wanting to stir the pot a little more.

The question is was it a 2.5 / 3 inch nylon line or mardigras line junk I seen it in the pass 40 plus years the lines are dry rotten left on barges ,and it should been wire up hard down with rigging plus nylon lines min 6 lines secure with opposite I have seen companies don’t replace line till they pop. And all companies should be responsible for their equipment . And have a a boat standby especially close to a bridge. Especially with the guidelines of homeland security look at the safety records and its company is responsible for the equipment and security and Proper training always human error, And all the people that ,2have hardship from this should get them marine attorney . The company going to say have permit or waver yes I seen this over and over . Stand by vessel at all time Security Security. Always blame game compliance , You are responsible for your equipment at all times poor management

CUT — saw pics with end of line cleanly cut and lying on the seawall.
No Doubt someone used a sharp edged tool to cut the barge free from the anchorage. Hope LEO, Coast Guard and FWC get the idiot who did this and put many people’s property in danger.
Things are bad enough, what an idiot to create more troubles for so many.

Eye roll, always someone else’s fault. Come on Skanska, take responsibility for your own inept management.
