Get Ready for an EXPLOSION!

For the filming of a TV pilot, there will be a simulated EXPLOSION onWednesday, March 25 between 9:30 a.m. and noon near the Key Bridge in the District.

CBS Paramount television is filming a pilot titled “Washington Field.” This is a new television series about the elite Washington field office of the FBI and a team of special agents called together for only the most interesting cases. Sounds cool, huh?

So is this! Be prepared for a 20 to 30 foot fireball that will last for about two 2 minutes… but don’t go running for cover! The Department of Homeland Security and D.C. Police and Fire departments have been notified, along with the Washington Airports Authority. The explosion will take place on the Potomac River just north of the Key Bridge and Jack’s Boathouse (K / Water Street, NW under the Whitehurst Freeway). In the scene to be filmed, there will be six sculling boats on the Potomac River – and one of them won’t make it!

Special prize to anyone who can get footage of the explosion for K Street Kate TV! E-mail video and contact info to kate@kstreetkate.net
