" It was a natural disaster. "
Moot my a$$, and your comments show your ignorance of the details of what actually happened. The city survived the hurricane but not the aftermath. The New Orleans destruction of 200,000 homes was an engineering disaster not a natural disaster. That is the operative difference.
Put yourself in the same situation. Suppose the Federally built dam above Raleigh fails due to shoddy construction methods and flawed designs. And your entire city is destroyed by the failure of the dam. THAT is what happened in the city of New Orleans. Every new detail that emerges from the analysis points to exactly that scenario.
The levees failed not because of the storm but due to the fact they were improperly designed and built. Had they been designed as spec'd, they would not have failed, get the picture? And the Federal Govt thru the Corp of Engineers had the ultimate decision making on all of it.
Apparently you didn't read my earlier post.
I don't need to put myself in the same position, thank you, I already lived it.
When the dam was relieved BECAUSE IT COULDN'T HOLD THE WATER, half my town was wiped out and stayed underwater for three weeks.
Nature rules, not man.
The levees failed not because of the storm but due to the fact they were improperly designed and built. ...........
So why should we have the same idiots in charge of the levees that were in charge of the levees before?
