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.

I've been enjoying your posts, John. Three feet/three times faster would make a huge difference in lives saved.

Re bombing a drainage channel:
That would drain LP to sea level a bit quicker, but they've still got to keep LP out of New Orleans, and pump what's spilled into New Orleans back into LP.
