bs.
you could prepare a lifetime and still not be ready.
and to the bro that's from NY...bfd.
the FACTS are, two buildings came down in NY.
N.O. and the entire surrounding counties are destroyed.
NO COMPARISON IN MAGNITUDE
Maybe, maybe not. More than two buildings came down or had to be brought down from the immediate area. I know, I lived down there and lived through the search and recovery. Lower Manhattan from 14th Street down was totally shut down for weeks with NO food deliveries because no trucks were allowed. We had to walk to midtown just to buy food. The fact is that order did not break down and people helped each other. New Orleans had decades to prepare for this type of disaster, perhaps not in magnitude but Nagin showed no leadership in running off to Baton Rouge rather than setting up his command post somewhere, say at the Superdome where he could take charge of the situation.
The corrupt NOLA politicians have done nothing to shore up the levees in decades all the while knowing they could have burst or been blown up. What happened to their contingency plans? The Federal Government gives money to states and localities for these situations but obviously they did nothing in the last few years to even try to prevent this.
Do you remember 9/11? It was a total surprise attack. The national airspace was closed. The military was scrambled all over the country, our Nations capital was attacked, planes being hijacked (no one knew how many) it was total chaos through out the total country and world!
The people in NO had many days to prepare especially the local government. They waited until the last possible moment before they started the evacuations. There are NO leaders in NO right now.
You're way out of line.
Way out there.
