Mardi Gras World, a major New Orleans attraction, was struck Monday evening (May 7) by "several barges," which inflicted significant damage to the building, according to the New Orleans Fire Department. About 6:45 p.m., "a tug lost steering and ran several barges into the Mardi Gras World facility," said NOFD Superintendent Tim McConnell. "Mardi Gras World sustained some pretty heavy damage," McConnell said.

No one was inside the building. Just wharf and building damage.
It's next to where they're holding Mayor Cantrell's inaugural ball. Probably some startled partygoers.

I got drunk at Mardi Gras. What a close call.

I saw a woman get crushed by a full bag of beads this past Mardi Gras.

Thank God it lost steering heading toward the east bank, sparing the great city of Gretna

Wouldn’t want to be the person from the towing company explaining that one to a customer.

Happened just as people were arriving for Cantrell's inauguration ball. Sign of things to come.

I have family in New Orleans. They have already checked in and are accounted for. Scary to think what could have been.

That's awful. That place had great po boys and shrimp creole.
