Bridge Hangers Block Fennica!

Greenpeace protesters hang off St John's Bridge (Willamette River) blocking Fennica from leaving Portland!

What will probably happen first is that the Coast Guard, like in Seattle, will give the protesters a couple of days to make their point, then quietly start making some key arrests and detentions in order to allow commerce to continue as normal.

If that doesn't pan out, I'd imagine the FENNICA could probably just tail a bulk freighter out, or take advantage of one coming in, to get under the bridge if it comes down to it.

Portland Fire and Police remove enough Greenpeace "Hanging Protester's" allowing Ice Management Tug Fennica to advance down the Willamette River to the Columbia, thence out to sea, joining the exploration of the Chukchi Sea.

Clever mischief.  Point made.  Nice day out.  Good exercise for Coastguard
