With 5 killed and 7 seriously injured I would think that speed was a factor,but looking at the pics,the boat doesnt seem to be too badly damaged.What a tragedy.

The story also indicates that the Tug was tied up to a dock that was being worked on, its also possible that the tug could have been tied up more towards the middle of the ICW than to shore. There have been times that I have seen dock construciton crews leave equipment I.E cranes tied up, and reducing the with of the channel in half, with no reflective signage, just a thought.
