Tugboat Fail Caught on Camera! Cut The Rope!

When tugboats are doing their job properly, they’re pulling around boats that are much bigger than themselves but as this situation shows, when moving a load like they do on a regular basis, things can go incredibly wrong right in front of your own two eyes!

This time, we check out a tugboat operator that bites off a little bit more than he can chew and, as a result, the tug almost ends up going under. This had to seriously make the hearts of everyone onboard skip a beat as they just about went under!

Thanks to the quick thinking of one of the crew members and a handy knife, the rope that was tied to the giant vessel that was pulling the tugboat under was sliced to relieve the pressure from the side of the boat which made it pop back up to breathe easy once again!

Check out the video below that shows you just how close this situation came to sending the crew into the watery abyss along with the boat that probably would have never seen the light of day ever again. I think it’s safe to say that this quick thinking saved them big time!
