Here's a tug-meets-bridge story captured in pictures from 1979. (I've checked the source and this is not something off of Jacka$$.) The negatives for this little photo essay were apparently bought and buried by the owner of the tug immediately after this happened, but you've got to see these. While this is certainly inspirational, don't try this at home.
There's a full explanation of what happened ... although it's pretty obvious from the pictures... following the last photo.
Cheers,
Spongebob
