Passengers, some out of their vehicles, wait to be allowed off of a ferry boat at the Chalmette dock about 10:45 a.m. Friday after the boat reportedly lost power crossing the Mississippi River and grazed a docked barge before stopping at the ferry dock. Several passengers said they were shaken up in the incident but none required being taken to a hospital, officials said. Photo by the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office.
