I have not done a movie yet that required a boat to go boom...... I imagine the clean-up would be tough!

You should have come down to New Orleans to shoot Deja Vu. There were a bunch of booms on a real river ferry, but they were cleverly done (as movie special effects tend to be) and the boat was cleaned up and back in service 4 days later!

Bob, can't believe you didn't have a ADM we got to haul 1 per company all over the fatherland. No one was coming down the gap when the 168th was there.
