Why not bust through the marshes blocking the LP outflow with a B52 attack (70 750# bombs) and get the city water down to sea level?

Do you know what that would do to the marsh birds? /sarc

Would it work?

[John Jamieson]

Presently LP is draining through a tiny channel and across 2 miles of marsh. It will drain slower and slower as it's level approaches sea level. Now about 3 feet. We need a new channel at least twice as big as the existing natural one. LP level comes down 3 times faster.

If one B52 load of carpet bombs is not enough, use 10. It would take 5 hours from decision to do it. Most of NO could be dry by morning.
