An act of terrorism appears to have taken place against the United States. Reports are coming in saying twenty six river barges "Broke loose" on the Ohio River and are heading downstream toward multiple bridges.
Police and other agencies in multiple jurisdictions are on alert at nearby bridges in case the barges hit those bridges.
Out of an abundance of caution, law enforcement has shut down multiple bridges, including the McKees Rocks Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and halted all traffic due to this incident.

Twenty-three of the barges were loaded and three were empty.
Six barges reportedly collided with and are jammed up against, the Emsworth Dam.
There are Reports of Extensive Damage at Peggy's Marina where one or more barges reportedly slammed into private vessels docked there.
This is an ongoing and developing story. But the report claiming these barges "broke loose" seems false on its face. It appears the United States is under attack and large vessels are the weapon of choice.
