What a pretty name for a barge, yes?

Morning fog, it seems, has temporarily delayed the investigation into yesterday's Richmond-San Rafael Bridge fender bender. Last night, while being guided by tugboats, the Cascade smacked into the east piling of the western span of the bridge. This comes on the heels of the Cosco Busan oil spill, which happened after the container ship rammed into the Oakland Bay Bridge. Read more about yesterday's non-harrowing incident here.

Damage to the barge, above, is pretty extensive; the extent of the damage to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is yet unknown. Also, booze tests were administered to the crew, and so far they have been found to be boringly sober. Basically, it looks like this was just a minor incident. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
