I feel like there was a moment of indecision between flooring it in reverse, and flooring it going forward, and in that moment, both options became unavailable.

In my first watch I didn’t notice the driver exiting the truck and I thought he decided to be a good captain and go down with the ship.

So many things wrong here. The slope is too great. The barge is not secured to the shore. The driver only used his trailer brakes to stop, but should have used the brakes on his tractor and trailer together. This means that the weight of tractor and trailer was pushing the barge away from the bank. The captain of the barge should have been ready to provide a counter-force to avoid being pushed off the bank.

I didn’t see the driver get out?

Gotta love the comedic timing of that loot drop.

Dispatch would have safety calling me with a cup already in hand ready to piss in…
