The towboat Genie was northbound near mile marker 352 on Tenn-Tom Waterway Columbus lake in a single stack. He was attempting to double stack his barge. To do this he had to swing the barge around to the west. Tow boat Genie operator stated he didn’t see the smaller boats until it was to late. He couldn’t stop the progress on the barge. The front of the barge went over Vessel 1, dented the side of vessel and took the outboard motor off. Vessel 3 sustained damage to outboard motor cover. The witnesses of vessels 1 & 3 watched from the bank. The other people worked on barge. No information on those workers.
