New Orleans cleaning crews washed down Bourbon Street Thursday after authorities largely concluded their on-site investigation of a ghastly New Years attack as the iconic nightlife hub prepared to reopen.
Street cleaners rumbled onto the landmark road through the French Quarter early in the morning, scrubbing surfaces of any signs of the tragedy in which 14 people were killed when a US Army veteran inspired by Islamic extremists rammed a rented pickup truck into unsuspecting revellers.
