If your near New Orleans on Sunday afternoon you might want to stop by
For the movie Deja Vu' were going to be exploding 800 gallons of gasoline of the Stumpf ferry that runs from Algiers to Canal Street. We'll be blowing it between 5 and 6 PM. It be up-river of the Mississippi River Bridge at the Perry Street Pier. The lethal blast or exclusion range is 300 feet. Here's some images of the primer cord and the mortars, the black bucket and trough looking things on the perimeter of the vessel where they will be putting the gasoline in plastic bags in the morning just before they motor out to the location.
