man, some of you guys really jump the ball and you dont knwo any facts. You just want to attack someone as if this is someones fault that a hurricane hit New orleans.
No, the head of the core of engineers was on MSNBC tonight and said they tried sandbags but that the break was too wide, then they tried placing cars into the hole but the water was washing them away. He said they will try to create a new dam further up the canal but he was close to saying that it wasnt going to be stopped and that the water would stop when the canal ran out of water....after filling the city
True! The governor said that they were dropping the sandbags in, but "they just disappeared". (!)
People don't realize the force of flowing water.
Like trying to put out an oilwell fire. You can't just stop it up a little at a time.
