"What happened to the hysterial "toxic disaster of biblical proportions" warnings from those environmental wackos?"
Others areas nearby got what folks were afraid N.O. would. Let's see what happened to Slidell, Gulf Shores, Mobile, Biloxi. Even in N.O. it won't be a picnic.
Nice trade!
When Saddam set of the oil well fires in the Gulf War we were all going to die.

Hmm, I don't remember that we were ALL going to die. It did have a rather negative effect on the breathing ability of some folks over there, though.
I see nothing wrong with warning people about the possibility of major environmental problems. The place I live doesn't have nearly the amount of chemicals you find around N.O., but during our last big flood we had barrels of some pretty nasty stuff set loose.
