Did any of you guys see some actor on FOX News a short while ago? He said something to the effect that one of his family members had seen an empty barge hit one of the levees, and that's why it broke. If this is what happened, it really puts to rest some of the criticisms on this issue.

I saw that too. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

There aren't any ports that handle cargo on Lake Ponchartrain. There is no reason for a barge to be out there. The cargo goes through the Mississippi River.
