Probably not a situation we'll encounter, but still jaw-dropping.

I still get a laugh. Everytime I see that video shot, of that tug getting hit by the
anchor
. Priceless!!!

Interesting since the operator of the tug went into the drink and the
engine
and prop were probably still engaged. On the positive side, he probably got substantial
repairs
or a new tug for the error.
