Riverwalk Marketplace (New Orleans, Louisiana)

After the 1984 World's Fair, this section of riverfront was redeveloped into the "Riverwalk", an upscale mall intended to attract both tourists and locals.

On the afternoon of Saturday, December 14, 1996, the M/V Bright Field freightliner/bulk cargo vessel slammed into the Riverwalk. No one was killed in the accident, although approximately 66 were injured.
