The stern section of the barge DM 932 is raised from the Mississippi River in New Orleans Sunday, Aug. 10, 2008. The bow section, raised August 9, can be seen in the foreground on the work barge awaiting the stern. Skimming crews were nearby to remove the oil that the barge sections released when they were raised.
The barge DM 932 was involved in a vessel collision July 23 and a portion of its oil cargo spilled into the Mississippi River.
