@@Mhats Not sure about OP, but for a lot of the people there, evacuation was simply not possible. All public transportation shut down. IF you had a car, to get out of town early enough meant having money for hotels and food. And for a lot that knew they could ride out the winds, who could've known the levees would break covering the city in 20 feet of water. To ride out a hurricane and do just fine is not uncommon. You simply have to be in a place that will withstand the winds and then wait for the surge to recede which normally happens quickly. Since this wasn't just storm surge but an entire river and lake flowing into a bowl, it was under water for weeks.
Nah we live in America where ppl die on the job all the time cause companies want to be cheap on the PPE or the procedures nd stuff to get jobs done quick
They have a movie called Cut Throat City that kind of relates to what you’re saying. As if “Katrina” was a way for them to wash out some of the poorer side of the city to make room for casinos.
@@delondavis3999 the crazy thing was when Katrina hit, there was a lot of law enforcements breaking into homes to clear them out of any weapons. I’m not saying this is all true, but it’s worth to do some research.
It was NOT the Corps of Engineers but the NEW ORLEANS LEVEE BOARD which refused authorization and funding for floodgates (locks) to close the openings into Lake Pontchartrain of the outfall canals which for many years have pumped water from the heavy rains out of the city. The Levee Board was appointed by the Mayor. This has been quietly replaced by the Southeast Flood Protection Agency. It is appointed by the Governor and a council. At least one member of the 9 must be a civil engineer. A hydrologist and a geologist are also on the board. The second part of blaming the government instead of city officials is the silence on the fact that Mayor Roy Nagin rejected Amtrak’s offer of a relief train for the residents. In a city with excellent cheap transportation via streetcars and buses. this lack of cars meant more than 1,500 people drowned. while more than 30,000 rushed into the Superdome. No buses were available as the drivers were trying to save their families . Mayor Nagin flew to Dallas with his family. When President Bush overrode Governor Blanco’s refusal on the third day, the Guardsmen reported conditions “worse than Beirut.” Looters had destroyed every store in the Central Business District, even attacking Charity Hospital to get to the drugs. President George W. Bush was on the phone wirh Governor Kathleen Blanco for three days. He notified her he was sending the aircraft carrier Bataan with helicopters, a hospital and water. He requested permission to send the National Guard. She refused for 3 days while setting up her New Orleans Hurricane Relief Foundation. The officers were Governor Blanco, her husband and their lawyer. Robert Perrot. Millions poured in from every state and from countries around the world. The foundation is still listed in Newport Beach, Ca. The blame game continues.
Levee Board's hiring of director under scrutiny as arrest, payment to fictitious firm surface BY DAVID HAMMER | WWL-TV Oct 13, 2021 …the local corruption continues too.
Saw another documentary of a guy saying police and fire had opened Walmart..took all the guns and what they wanted, then let ppl in to take what they wanted, free.. within a couple hours it degraded, shots fired...and they blamed it all on looting.. when the authorities pried the door open in the start, and weren't just taking supplies.. but riot covered all.. I think it's called "take the last refuge"
Not to be a jerk but maybe living in NOLA is not sustainable anymore. Taxpayers spent 14 billion dollars on new pumps and levees. Just read an article from Scientific American, due to subsidence, the levees are sinking and, due to climate change, the waters are rising. The "new" levees will now be ineffective in 2023. Talk about a massive waste of money. If the levees break again do not fix them. It is better to spend that money to relocate citizens.
As a military republican i was ashamed of the GOP and their administration for not sending help faster. In iraq we got resources much faster than they did in new orleans.
After Katrina, leaders from New Orleans travelled to the Netherlands per their invitation to learn some valuable info.. As we know, the Netherlands are the best in the world at preventing floods- as their region, just like New Orleans is below sea level. As a result, the Corp of engineers have implemented much of the same technology that the Dutch have been so successful at. So now there really is no excuse. The New Orleans levee board need to stay on top of care and maintenance.. otherwise all of that work will be for naught.
They won't... They'd rather spin tales about floodgates and drown you out in procedure and protocols that weren't followed. Mean while (similar to 9/11 and others) ground level witnesses have come out to say different and were hushed up. There def has been a cover up on how Katrina even formed in the first place. This was planned years in advance from the same group think responsible for putting GWB in power imo. The Hegelian Dialectic: Problem - Reaction - Solution
No that was Congress and the businesses even the different religions are involved in a lot of things and we are not going to hide this any longer we are going to start cutting down on one different religions all of the religions a lot of religion is behind it with the businesses and and Washington DC
I designed the new Levee system just like I designed the Mexico border wall as I built the United States border wall I design that the same way is a design the Levee system is I was doing that I was getting until and listening to people talk about it not just talk about one more than one case every days

Sounds crazy sorry u went through that tbh
why didn't you evacuate?

I wouldn’t have evacuated either. I would never imagine the levees breaking. That caught everyone by surprise. Thank God you survived!!!
I’m so sorry you had to go through that
New Orleans is below sea level you would think they would have top of the line flood walls and levees.
That is why it was not due to climate change, but rather a man-made issue. It irritates me when the truth is not told until years later.
Nah we live in America where ppl die on the job all the time cause companies want to be cheap on the PPE or the procedures nd stuff to get jobs done quick
They could but the politians are to greedy and want to funnel all the money to there pockets
You would think no sensible person would live next to the sea below sea level

I don’t think this lady is being accurate. But I too have no respect for MSM.
America is a 1st world country with 3rd world infrastructure. It's what happens when a tiny fraction of the population holds 90% of the wealth.
Not quite 3rd world but in situations like this it definitely seems that way.
You’re just regurgitating what you’re hearing
They blew the levees with dynamite... I lived in the lower 9th ward and herd the explosion
When the hurricane first hit and the news was covering it, they "accidentally" caught that happening live on air. Haven't seen the clip since.
They have a movie called Cut Throat City that kind of relates to what you’re saying. As if “Katrina” was a way for them to wash out some of the poorer side of the city to make room for casinos.

Several people that live in the 9th Ward heard explosions seen airplanes flying over the levees before the heavier win came on shore
Yea sureeee n kanye west will be president in 2024 with trump as vp
Who's gonna fly a airplane in a huricane its to dangerous cuz its unpredictable
Might have been dynomite planted lol I'd believe that over a damn plane

I watched an interview 10 years after Katrina that they did in N.O… they interviewed a woman and she said they heard a loud explosion at 6am
They were too busy doing other stuff to care about it before it happened

We’ll see if what she said was accurate… that they are indeed truly “better prepared”?
Right I thought this was from the early 90s
The levees were blown up
Building an entire city below sea level was the issue, not the levees. Relying on levees to support a city that’s next to the sea is unreasonable
