This is exactly what you knew would come out. The new media will blow away the old ratmedia on this issue.
"Excellent work" seems pale to say. This is magnificent!
Thank you

Okay, enough with your silly opinion. I want some data to back it up!!
:-) Well done. I'll need more time to read through all this research.

- Many or most failed sections were subjected to a storm surge far beyond their original design specifications.
- Both Parish areas flooded from multiple levee breaches, from different directions, and at different times.
- Many levee segments failed in multiple directions at different times during the storm's passage.
- Notably absent are significant failures along the Intercoastal Waterway between the two Parish areas. Funneling did not result in levee failures in this area.
Outstanding! We have been subject to a tremendous barrage of bandwidth - Broadcast journalism, cable journalism, newsprint - but it is all focused on the moment, RIGHT NOW. It doesn't really take much bandwidth to give the big picture, does it?!

I've printed out the "St. Bernard Parish Levee System Overview Map" and have been consulting that as I'm reading your numbered descriptions and clicking the links to see the images.
The color coding (G, Y, O, B) and the numbered arrows have been a great help, too.

The bottomline is that you cannot protect anything with a single level of levees. The Dutch know this and have concentric rings with low-lying farm lands that can flood without doing much damage if the outer rings (levees) fail. To protect New Orleans and surrounding Parishes they will need to give up some of the populated areas for spillways or take back more of the wetlands and lakes. Expecting ZERO failure is absurd.

Superb research!
It looks like large portions are just swampland, unfit for humans to reside.
They need 30 feet high flood walls, period.
