    Sorry, tried to embed the video. Don't have that down yet. This is my cousin. Just heard about this morning.

    As a barge captain myself I can tell you from experience that a man overboard is a very scary thing. Especially in flood stage. Time is extremely critical to get someone out before hypothermia sets in. I pray he's ok.

    Ricky, I thought of you right away when I heard about this. I had lost track of this cousin and didn't even know that he did this for a living. I know very little about the situation but it doesn't look good. It's several days now and he hasn't been found.

    Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that brother. That's really grim news. My prayers are with your family and his.

    Any kind of work on the water is high risk. Sorry to hear about your loss.
