"Our guys were screaming, 'Stop!' When you see accidents like this, it isn't an accident but carlessness. Somebody needs to be in charge, it isn't a democracy in the workplace.

I guess I was looking for *why* there are tides so far inland. I looked it up. Apparently the riverbed of the Hudson is below sea level all the way to Troy, NY, about 10 miles north of Albany. Thus the ocean tides can affect the river up to 157 miles inland.

It looks like Albany has quite a tide that far upriver, with a mean range of 4.6 feet. Oops, formatting sucks
