Eventually, engineers will find five separate places where concrete floodwalls gave way. They will still be debating and studying the causes of the failures two weeks after the storm. .....

Just what is a comment like this doing in a "factual" story? Not just the comment but the way it is written using words and phrases such as "eventually" and "still be debating and studying". As the time line goes on we see that a levee breach had been repaired and draining the city begins.

My experience with government buaracracy and engineers is that they are still "debating and studying the causes of the failures " to this day. That did not stop the temporary repair of the levee though as factchecks unbiased comment suggests.

This whole time line is riddled with ridicule for the President who was not saying enough about the storm and not at the scene of the disaster.

So much for being politically unbiased.

"Is Fact check all that factual?"


No.



"Eventually, engineers will find five separate places where concrete floodwalls gave way."



There are actually six locations where concrete floodwalls gave way.

There are also two locations where floodgates in concrete floodwalls gave way or were damaged seriously enough to allow large quantities of sea water into inhabited areas.



"This whole time line is riddled with ridicule for the President who was not saying enough about the storm
and not at the scene of the disaster. "



Their only other option is to publicly admit that they were all drinking, partying, and having aberrant sex instead of doing their jobs, an admission which would result in lawsuits rendering the entire Anmerican Democratic Party insolvent and destitute.

I estimate the probability of such an admission ever actually occuring to be pretty low. Almost as low as the odds of anyone who cares enough to look at the actual facts believing the story they do choose to tell.
