Tug flips in Skookumchuck Narrows

I didn't hear about this until today from Kevin on the Sea Dragon.

The video speaks for itself - a harrowing experience for sure.

It occurred on Jul 20. Google the story if you want more details.

Hi- I have dove the rapids a couple of times behind tremble island. A nasty piece of water. Slack tides is 4 knots or more. When the current is running it is 22 knots. The tug is running the current at the wrong time.
