Hmm. Was New Orleans also the only city whose Dept. Of Transportation would agree to suspend commuter traffic for 58 days?
Everybody knows . . . the public was given just 8 days notice to find other transportation for the duration of the filming.
. . . Nobody knowsthe deal was actually negotiated seven months earlier
Everybody thinks . . . The ferry was initially rented for just 30 days - “from March 8 to April 7th.”
Nobody knows . . . The ferry was actually rented for 43 days -and then an additional 15 days - for a total of 58 DAYS
Everybody thinks . . . They had to rent the ferry out “because of Katrina” - as Exec. Dir. Alan LeVasseur told Algiers Pt. resident Connie Burks.
Nobody knows . . .the deal was negotiated six weeks BEFORE Katrina
Everyone knows . . . the Canal St. ferry was closed for 58 days for the filming of the De’ja Vu movie - Times Picayune & DOTD sales invoices
Nobody knows . . . CCCD Ferry Statistics Report claimed the ferry being closed for just 3 days with normal pedestrian ridership after that.
