The center's researchers said it is too early to say whether the breaches were caused by poor design, faulty construction or some combination. But van Heerden said the floodwalls at issue -- massive concrete slabs mounted on steel sheet pilings -- looked more like the sound barriers found on major highways. He also suggested that the slabs should have been interlocked, and that the canals they were supposed to protect should have had floodgates to keep out water from the lake. The floodgates were obvious and unforgivable but the concrete wall sections WERE NOT INTERLOCKED???? Somepeople's heads need to roll.

You need to trot along now, and take your simpering to another forum more suited to such idiotic expressions. Like, say, this one:
