The other pic doesn't even look like a Louisiana plate to me.

Can anyone make out the plates?

It looks like an older Louisiana plate with the raised alpha numerics...

That’s 100k to run a camera through it.
Ok...? The company that’s doing it will probably provide more than just pictures to the SWB...

By running a camera through it?

I just want to know how not one, but two cars got in there. The open air portions still have concrete slats going across them and it's not like there are ramps down to the canals
Keep asking questions and you might find out.

The equipment, trucks, cranes, etc
The labor, riggers, crane operators, dive crew (2-3 divers, a dive tender, a dive supervisor) dive equipment,
air compressors, underwater cameras etc....
All that could easily add up to $100k....especially if they have to come back and get the other cars out tomorrow.

Do they run the plate and charge the owner for the recovery?
Don't forget the storage fee.

Honestly, whoever it is just threw out a number, and the city went with it. They could've said $175k and just taken a little longer to make it look hard

The 100k did NOT include removing any debris. It was stated in the article as simply reporting where clogs were and all remediation would be additional

The license plate is a LA plate
MYN 026
And there’s a NOPD emblem stamped on the plate between the MYN and O26
I’d post a pic but can’t from my phone
Garland Gilland has it on his Facebook page

Stop believing everything you read. It’s bad for your mental health.

The pace of that program will largely depend on funding. The S&WB estimated it will cost about $100,000 just to inspect the full three miles of the Lafitte Canal, not including the cost of removing the blockages.

You do realize this still hasn’t been done right? Do you realize from the pump station to where the car was found was probably only 1 mile? They still have another 2 miles to go to get to the Orleans ave pump station. That means 2 miles is completely underground
You must be new to the city.

“Zoom Zoom”
I think this Mazda has zoomed it’s last zoom.
I love how Moon’s sends an eleventy-hundert ton rig out for a two ton car.
Their SOP.
It’s representative of NOLA’s culcha charm of maximizing the fleecing at every turn.

Got it. Youre not disputing that it’s 100k to do 3 miles, with large portions not underground... you are just salty that I asked whether you were new or didn’t read the article earlier.
