Hurricane Katrina's Engineering Disaster
Вставка

- On August 29th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, levee failures caused some of the worst scenes in American History. I dive into why Hurricane Katrina wasn't only a natural disaster, but an engineering disaster.
For Gavin Short, Nic Nair, and Drake Brooks. RIP.

This video was really well done, absolutely fantastic content!
Excellent video. I’m showing my earth science classes this tomorrow
This video deserve so much more views!
Great video! It was the only one I could find that talked about all the aspects I was curious about. My only complaint is that the video wasn’t an hour long 😂 One thing I think is worth mentioning is they said Ivan was going to hit N.O. And it didn’t. it could be the reason a lot of people stayed for Katrina
Great video! I learned a lot from it.
Louisiana resident here who dealt with this monster. Very well done doc. Thank you.
What is the area like now? Has it recovered a lot better now. I hope it has. All the best from England
@@cannonball9478 it is more or less recovered to a level where one who is unfamiliar with the area would never know that she happened. However, if you go to certain parts of the city, one can still see certain reminders of her wrath from nearly 20 years ago.
Fitting you put in When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin. Music aside. Great video, man.
Recorded it myself ;) Glad you noticed!
Currently on a rabbit hole of Hurricane Katrina. This was such an informative video 😊
Me after Helene and with Milton on the way.
I remember there was a near miss hurricane in the 80s where forecasters were worried about a direct hit on NO and the inability of the city to withstand the impact. Yet even knowing how lacking the levees were, nothing changed.
Great video! Helpful in understanding problems in geotechnical engineering!
Wtfffff wow ur content is super under appreciated
My grandpa dan, (not really was grandmas second husband but we called him grandpa dan) he had a home in the lower ninth ward, he left when Katrina was crossing Florida as a “just in case” and he was always worried about the levies so when he would leave, he planned, had tens of totes on hand and lived minimally to keep leaving In rush “easy” loaded up his trailer and truck with everything of importance or value… went back 1 month later and said his house has collapsed… he just left and never went back.
I asked him why he never went back and his reasoning was because the area had become very…. Crime ridden…
My kid loved this for his science study on hurricanes, thank you!
Amazing video, very informative and understandable
Well explained I always wanted to know why an how thanks 😊
Sir...this video is exceptional for a nerd like myself.
Bravo!!
Thank you for the map references...
Great video.
I knew it was bad but I had no idea about the levees. Sounds like they just paid for the bare minimum "oh yeah 1.3 will be fine" 🙄 it's been two decades and some parts are still recovering
0:27 that looks like a freaking tsunami
Say ur subscriber count more ngl
y extremely wise step-father who was from Louisiana told me in circa 1984-1986 that the levy would break and flood New Orleans. Since he drank wine in the evening, it would be after a couple he would say these strange things, so of course my friends and I thought he was just buzzed. I asked why he thought that and he said that it was made faulty by design. No one listened then or when he told us. He did not live to see it happen but I sure did. Remember, there were no whistle blower laws at that time. He did move out of the state though. Something else about that, if you have ever seen the movie "The Pharmacist", episode 4, the scene after 28:25 gave me chills. There was a deliberate certainty on the part of the "anonymous" agency that made the made the phone call then ominously "hung up". El nino - remember that? Test pilot to "climate change". Another "crazy story" he told me about. Climate change is like vacs - create the problem, sale the solution. Collateral damage is either the point or just a bonus on top of the profits. Both criminal.
