180,000 people without clean water in the most advanced country in the world! Something is rotten and it's in Mississippi.
Blks can't even maintain what the White man built for them. The same is happening throughout the world.
MAJOR FRUAD CASE SHOULD BE EXPOSED
All over the country I would say.
🤣🤣🤣
@@michaelrmurphy2734
So true.
What about nursing homes? What about people who have no cars to pick up the water, for example seniors and the disabled? My heart is breaking for Mississippi.
You know those death panels you heard about being the reason we can’t have healthcare? Well, here they are, but it was lack of government oversight that brought it.
Nah Mississipi is full of disgusting people.
Oh well they're definitely screwed as well.
That's what good family,friends, neighbors,and church members for! We gonna lookout for everybody
And infants, my God, this is awful
Mississippi government failing to invest in its own infrastructure. Water is ESSENTIAL! This is what we pay taxes for.
Welp I guess that means no college football games no money pouring into that state off the backs of blk kids when back at home they don’t even have clean water and electricity properly… racist love to root and cheer on Saturdays there is no way in hell I’d take a field when my people can’t get clean water it’s racist as hell that entire state. Unbelievable you have to stand up stop putting money in there pockets..
Yeah but government officials of the red variety don't give a crap about your needs. They never have. They gotta get the new boat, dontchaknow.
blks can't even maintain a system built by Whites
Jackson city government more precisely.
Biden just recently gave Ukraine $10 BILLION of Americans Tax Money.
Things I learned in the military: #1 people who take water for granted have never had to carry it, or been without it.
Well said Floyd Vaughn
yup. everytime I turn on the faucet I always wonder when the day will come when water no longer in easy reach. it's such a fragile system but one we have spoiled ourselves with.
As a former Embarkation/Logistics guy...ain't that truth.
#2 bottle water shower.
No one told you to join you want a cookie most people don’t care what you been through
OMG.. no backup plans, no nothing????!! C'MON MAN. This is shameful!!! SO INCOMPETENT THESE OFFICIALS ARE!

Still red.
So they knew the failure was coming and yet did nothing to address it?
You know how it goes, you don't see it, it's not happening in your town, etc. I noticed that there wasn't a specific year mentioned as to when the possible failure was 1st initially reported.
@@maryrodger5130 @1:00 Tate Reeves stated they knew the pumping station was going to fail in a matter of weeks to months [prior to the flooding damage]. Why deal with a June/July issue when they can put it off till after total failure.
Typical GOP trash inactions
This has been a problem for years. But the mayor promised racial justice and economic democracy for the people of Jackson....5 years ago. Is it thirst-quenching?
@@Eric-nr8gw Yeah, cities don't have the resources for major infrastructure. That's a state funding issue. Seems more like the governor is punishing Jackson, because it flipped blue.
Why do the same disasters keep striking the same places and not one of the state level leaders EVER campaign on a pledge to actually prepare for what happens over and over and over?
because they are "people of the land" and "hard working Americans" a little rain ain't going to slow them down until it washes away their home. then it's "we will overcome" and "God has a plan"
Because their voters are so uneducated, they keep up with the showmanship of Republican leaders "owning" Democrats before they realize their cities are crumbling beneath them. All Republicans need to do in red states is keep them distracted until the polls and they'll keep winning.
Every couple of months someone walks into an elementary school and slaughters children and they do nothing about it. You think the are gonna do anything about a bit of water?
University's have wrecked the world.
@@geoffreyrievaulx7178 Go back to france
This is inexcusable! After Katrina the Army Corps Engineers told Mississippi that their infrastructure was not sufficient and could not handle the stress of a hydro disaster. They were given a plan. All they had to do was do the work. What did they do with all the money they were given and the plans they were given?!
And there’s exactly the problem.
Blame it on Alqaeda ? Saddam Hussein ? Putin? Osama ? Taliban ?
Take your pick
Ask the Republicans what they did with that money.
Gee I wonder if some tax money from billionaires might have helped with their infrastructure problem?
Yeez, this was 2005!
I’m in Jackson and this is a every year thing. They definitely had the money to fix it a long time ago but never did. It’s sad that Jackson is the capital of the state but have the most problems
I'm very sorry that you have to live like that. They certainly have known for quite some time that there are major infrastructure problems with the water system. I hope that this national coverage will shed a light on the issues and that you will have clean and safe water very soon!
That is not acceptable the water and sewer system just did not start failing over night. This is a fail on the government officials there. Someone is not doing their job!
I didn't know Jackson was the capital lol.
Those poor people should not have to line up for water like that. The city should have had a contingency plan when it comes to the distribution of water--the water trucks should be sent out to their neighborhoods. You cannot go to work or school when you have to stand in line all day for water.
Its kind of ironic that they don't have water while being surrounded by water.
Just like Pakistan. Hollowed out by greedy conservative politicians. Anti-poor, anti-Black, and anti-women. Can't rely on politicians with that kind of ideology.
does anybody notice or it "seems" that, the only people that suffer hardships in life are poor people? you never see any politicians or famous movie stars in this situation.
Famous people lol like they have money to pay you to stand out there for them duh.
Rich people will never have this problem and if they do they can afford to move to another better place
"I don't want to put you on the spot" while putting her on the spot.
Domino's because the news anchor put him on the spot.
Lol
I can’t imagine being able to live there either. I would feel like I was being forced to move. I can’t believe the officials let things get this bad.
A state of emergency needs to be declared and they need to let the federal government come in.
Riiiight bc as we all know too well the government always has everyone’s best interest in mind 🙄🙄🙄
No water big trouble! When the National Guard get there...if they can bring in the immediate amount of water...that will be a miracle!
Wot do you expect them to do. You really need to wake up.
@@mandymoore5774
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah right!!!
And admit a Red State needs the federal government to survive. They would rather die of dehydration apparently. Let em.
It’s sad that this happens in the USA
I think the school shootings Are sad..something that doesnt happen in latinoamérica..😢
The mayor is an open socialist in Jackson and has turned it into a Dystopian 3rd world
Liberal cities!!
@@5rings16 conservative cities have school shootings…. i’ll take boiled water (caused by mother nature) over a school shooting
@@5rings16 Redumblican states
There is more to this than meets the eye. The legislature meets in the city itself. Something isn't right. Some questions are in order. Does Jackson have the proper tax base to maintain its operation? If not has it asked for assistance from the state or federal government? If so, what happened? Did the governor know its water purification system wasn't functioning properly? I live in a much larger southeastern city and after one of our major hurricanes the water was unsafe for about two days. We had bottled water brought in but for drinking only and this was for maybe one or two days. This doesn't add up.
This is a third world situation.
Not hardly sir
Third world is running the city.
This is a “Gonna be more and more common problem”. Should we consider this the Flint Mi of the south now?
Well, ya DON'T SAY. 🙄 Too bad our money's being laundered to Ukraine by the INSTALLED losers on the Hill.
This is a black city problem
people in jackson should seriously consider using rainwater as an additional source of water for emergencies. from the sound of it prob needed before and after this. i use to live in virginia and when you went up to the country area people would have their downspouts from the gutters basically cut short and they had big barrels for the water to run into and it was plummed into their house. i know a reason is some areas dont have city water because of how rural it is and also dont want to pay the city for water but still a good backup. but i will say this, hopefully this incident can turn into a good thing. with all the coverage it may force the city to finally do something
That sounds like an excellent idea! Unfortunately where I live if you are caught collecting rainwater, they can fine you because according to them it belongs to the city. I hope this coverage helps them.
No rainwater is not really safe to drink anymore... bc of all the global disasters we all created
Your gov problem. They made y’all dependent on them. Too bad they wiped out the natives to help y’all be self sufficient
Rain water has been declared undrinkable across the globe. This comes after years of testing. Try again.
do not drink rainwater, it's contaminated with PFAS/forever chemicals due to pollution in almost every part of the world.
The female reporter should have never asked Trevor on live TV to approach someone without warning, it put him and the person in a terrible position. They should have made those request of him before they went on air.
Yikes, if she doesn't wanna be on camera, maybe don't put her on camera, or don't tell her story at all
Trevor you have a bright future in journalism. This was an excellent report. Keep it up man!!!
Did he ask her if she wanted to be with n camera? Probably not.
S K. 🧢
I doubt it
Only if he learns from his mistakes. Like not getting permission ahead of time to film someone live. Journalism 101. Also, why didn't ABC send a journalist of color considering 82% of Jackson citizens are African-American?
That was not really right of the anchor to put HIM on the spot like that either
I would relocate to another city if I had the funds to do so. I wouldn't stay in that unhealthy environment. To me it reminds me of hurricane Katrina.
Blks can't even manage themselves. The same story throughout the world.
They should tell all the drivers to turn off their ignition while in line to save gasoline, and have a truck load of water drive to them.
I highly doubt this was as "short notice" as the city would like you to believe.
How devastating for the citizens of Jackson.
I'm so sorry you are all going through this. (From the Pacific Northwest...who are going through a severe drought) ❤
... You know very little about MS & the inability of state officials to work with city officials of other ethnicities...
@@synedahayes7376

@@charlesdixon552 You’ve never heard of rolling blackouts in California? Did you know the snowstorm was an epic monumental historical storm in TX? Do you know anything?
Really dumb decision by the news anchor putting the journalist on the spot. Why would she do that KNOWING what the residents are already going through?
This is a reminder, of the little things that we take for granted. 🙏
Praying for Jackson Missippi and all the cities that was in the path way of the floods. 🙏 ❤️
Oh I'm sure that'll help out so much. Why not send a case of water. Prayers don't quench thirsy
Why? Based on what I've read, God LOVES floods.
The problem is they don't deal with the issues before they happen they wait until it's catastrophic for the people that pay their taxes
Wow, that Kira reporter sure put Trevor on the spot and the poor lady waiting in the car for some water. So unprofessional on her part. He was doing a great job reporting what the viewers needed to know. Sucks how he was thrown a curveball out of no where for no reason all. She made him look unprepared. smh
Agree. That was weird, and she caused it.
I live outside of the Jackson Metropolitan area. Jackson has been dealing with this for the past 30 years or more. I blamed the past State and Local Administration. They have boils water notice just about 2 times a month. Jackson is not the only city, another city buy there water from Jackson so they are also affective too. To replace the system it will cost about a billion dollars. The local administration is doing their best and we must understand they have inherit this mess. I blamed the local administration for some things but not all. They should have replaced this system a long time ago.
Usually the water district adds user fees or the city with issue Muni Bonds to pay for these types of system upgrades. This is neglect by the civic leaders of Jackson.
@@jillpatton3432 they asked to tax the citizens and allow that tax to go towards the water. Tate reeves denied it .
@@AlexisDyan ..the mayor of Jackson has said they've deferred maintenance for over 30 years. If Jackson needs to fix and upgrade water treatment and intake this should be the county taxing district responsibility. They levy and proportion property taxes according to their infrastructure needs.
Logistically it would surely make more sense to have water distributed in sufficient quantities by staffed trucks versus every household driving, waiting for water. A garbage truck route could be followed. It is more efficient to send a garbage truck to collect rubbish rather than expect every household to travel and dump the trash.
That's actually a really good idea.
I live in Jackson and this happens all of the time, last year most of the people didn’t have water for 3 weeks, it’s like a third world country here.
@AJAYE MOURDEEP they already lied about the 40 acres and a mule.
People in America expect water air food and to be clean.But no poor people without cars get to be on that line.
Most of the more rural states just have no walk ability. It's driving or nothing.
This is my new favorite interview demonstating why, when, and how black people get "World Starred" and how to avoid it. That woman, Kora, was having none of that invasive behavior, but at least he wasn't rude. The female anchor at the desk is a manipulative person and if the impromptu interview was her idea she might even have a severe personality disorder.
Agreed. The way she put that reporter on the spot was disgusting. He should have stood his ground though and declined what she asked. People are suffering for water they don’t want a camera in their face about it. That lady at the home office was OUT OF TOUCH! Smh
Rough year. 2:07 there is a better way to distribute water instead of people lined up in vehicles. The local golf courses should donate all of their golf carts to shorten the wait by having helpers on both sides of the road to drive water out to help shorten the wait and save some gasoline.
America's Apocalypse

That is a GOOD IDEAL ,and it makes sense,should you try to get to the TV station and tell them your ideal ,it would alleviate stress also ,their officials have let them down ,remember when you go to the voting booth,they have put families in peril
The government should contract some large water trucks to drive around to neighborhoods and let people fill up rather than have everyone line up at the water station. Send out like a few dozen water trucks to cover the city, that way people don't need to all be bunched up in one place and make the line longer.
Thank you Trevor for letting people know about this water crisis.Keep us in prayer
I was in that line yesterday it was so long I had to record it! SMH!! My wife is pregnant and we have a 5 year old! We need water! If you ask me a lot of it is racism! If it was a white city they would of taken care of this a long time ago! This has been on going for years!!

How far, a mile or more? How many gallons of water can you carry any great distance? How about your 80 year old grandma? What if they allotted 20 gallons per person? I agree it's a total waste of gas, but humans can't survive without clean water. This is a straight up emergency situation. Gas is wasted, time is wasted, and sadly, lives could be wasted.
Temps in the high 90's with 100% humidity. You'd have people passed out on the side of the road.
My blessings and prayers to Jackson, MS.
It would be nice to see the military set up a few ROWPU units and store a couple hundred thousand gallons in water buffalos for people to grab water in bulk. I'm sure the governor could activate the Guard and or Air National Guard with even a few older 1500 or 600 GPH units for this type of emergency.
No. They waiting on looting.

Dear Mississippi voters ... you have only yourself to blame. These are the politicians you put into office. This is your crappy government of choice. Good luck with your water problem. You have my sympathy.

How much gas does it take to do the line up?
There is plenty of infrastructure and water in greater Jackson. Works great. It's just it is all east of the river in Rankin county (75% white) where all the white people live. Jackson proper is on the west side of the river in Hinds county. Which is 75% black. So the tax base in Hinds county is super low. The tax base in Rankin county is much, much higher. Which is also why 30+ years of deferred maintenance and short staffing in Jackson proper water system. While Rankin county's system is almost brand new.

Jackson, Mississippi Leadership is Democrats. Also, the democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson told the Mayor of Jackson to make a list of what he needed if not nothing would be done. Yet Congressman Thompson votes to give money to illegals crossing the border. Yet the people who voted for him have no water.
The mayor was endorsed by Bernie. Republican?
Jackson is a BLUE district, and most of the surrounding are also blue, where the flooding is. So instead of making a complete embarrassment out of yourself next time by trying to one-up internet strangers...do some research or just say something nice to the victims of the FLOOD.

i live in flint michigan and lined up for water for years . why cant they take trucks to the ends of the blocks and deliver it to people? there are too many people who have no way to get to where the water is being given away . it would be much more efficient because they know EVERY house needs water. they can go street by street and deliver it. why should the residents have to use tanks full of gas waiting in line? lets just keep good thoughts that hurricanes stay away
so cringe trying to get the on-scene reporter to crowd surf responses in a crisis...

The city better be supplying people with bikes and scooters too! Lots of people don't have cars there.
Most water can be made fairly safe with simple clay pots . Water will leach through a clay flower pot within a few hours . That wicking along with boiling you should be fairly confident to drink it when the alternatives you have available are compared and contrasted. So in short its a national security concern we do not have water filters on hand to assist in these situations ! We could be plugging in large dehumidifiers and collecting the water .
It’s sewage in it right now.
You only need a water sock or bottle sand/charcoal filter, and a bushpot/canteen-cup to boil the water for 5-minutes to kill the critters.

My fellow Mississippians, will you continue to keep these Republicans in office that clearly only care about how this affects their affluent constituents? Remember, Jackson is not the only city in Mississippi needing improvement or outright repairs and replacements. That's not even counting the many other states with crumbling and collapsing infrastructure. A state of emergency... WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE?
Right! Wake up and vote them out!
Mississippi is one of the highest ranking states for federal funds. You'd think if you're are tired of the same old thing that you'd try something different but never underestimate the power lower intelligence to keep on repeating something that never works at all. I seriously doubt that they'll think of voting for democrats but here's to the ones who have learned their lessons.
The waters are only going to get deeper and the infrastructure is going to keep getting worse. And the governor sent back rental assistance funds for the people back to DC, instead of using for people who needed it.
Exactly! And you know what, ignorance can only get you so far. If you refuse to wake up and see the truth, then what happens to them is on THEM. They elected these selfish monsters into office and they'll reap the non-rewards of that!
