"There were reports out of New Orleans that local authorities intentionally blew up a section of the levee to save the French Quarter and homes in wealthy neighborhoods. One must believe the witnesses who were there and heard the blast."

Someone needs to explain "how" blowing up a section of levee could "save the French quarter and homes in wealthy neighborhoods", since the French Quarter is on the highest land in the city, as are many of the oldest homes and "wealthiest" neighborhoods, and many OTHER wealthy neighborhoods are right along Lake Ponchartrain in the lowest part of the city.
