It seems the owner of the site has some problems as can be seen from what's written prefacing one of the sites now running:


* "A post to an online journal seems to have started
* this one. The original site for these pictures was
* here, but the site accumulated a hell of a lot of
* hits in a short time (naturally). The text from
* site owner to the journal writer:

-- * Justin, The two sites involved drew 85,000 visitors
* in about 2 1/2 days. I'm stuck with over $3,000.00
* in over limit bills from my server owner
* (Rapidsite). This has become a nightmare. I'm disabled
* and this money will have to come out of
* our life savings. I only sent the site to a few
* friends (now ex-friends) who sent to everyone in
* the whole world. I've never heard of such a thing
* happening. Needless to say, the sites no longer exist.

* I did find out a lot about the incident though.
* The boat is the MV Cahaba owned by Warrior and Gulf
* Navigation of Mobile, AL. The pictures were taken
* by an amateur photgrapher named Barger. This
* happened in April, 1979 at Demopolis, AL on the Warrior
* River. Nobody was seriously injured and the boat
* continued to it's destination with the barges. To
* my knowledge, the boat is still in service. The
* bridge has since been replaced. "

Sorta feel rather sorry for the guy - we all enjoyed it and he gets landed with the bill!
