‘You Can’t Park There!’ Tug Boat Crashes into Pier in Texas

Only in Port O'Connor will you see a tug boat crash into a pier, and someone yells, "You can’t park there!" Seriously, you just never know what’s going to happen around here.

If you’ve ever spent any time in Port O'Connor, you know that this little coastal town is full of surprises. It’s the kind of place where you can go for a quiet afternoon by the water, only to be entertained by something unexpected.

You know, like that one time, a tug boat pulling a barge crashed right into a pier. Yep, you read that right.

Now, I’m not saying Port O'Connor is always this eventful, but let's just say… you never know what you’re going to see here. This little accident, caught on camera, has been making the rounds online, and honestly, it’s got what it takes to go viral.

The video starts with the tug boat trying to navigate the pier, but things go a little sideways — quite literally. The boat veers off course, and boom, the barge crashes into the pier. Not exactly something you see every day.

But wait for it… the best part? Someone in the crowd shouts, "You can’t park there!"

People in the comment section defend the tug boat and explain how hard it is to navigate during a windy day. I have zero experience in navigating a barge but I do know this one's going to have the people in Port O'Connor talking for a while.
