Abstract
An unedited newsreel shot in downtown Chicago along the Chicago River near Michigan Avenue. The film captures scenes of a tug boat pushing a barge beneath a bridge, followed by the barge slamming into the side of a small passenger boat. The film also captures the numerous bystanders and news cameras around the scene of the accident. It is unclear how this reel became part of the Don McIlvaine Collection.
