ING 4247
This is the barge that was left in the Industrial Canal in New Orleans, and that came unmoored, crashed through the levee wall and caused part of the flooding of the lower ninth ward. As we approache dit we could see it sitting on top of a school bus.




It appears to be registered with the Ingram Barge company:

But responsibilty for the barge may lie with its particular operator. So far I haven't found out who that is.

Here is another shot of the barge on top of the school bus:















This home or what's left of it was in the path of the barge. Their stuff is still out in the street. The day I was there an idiot tourist from Texas was wandering around laughing, sitting on top of a car posing. Just chuckling her head off. But what I felt was, this was someone's home.
