this might be better than spike lees documentary

[Theoneboi]

I beleive the guy at the end, The Levees were broken, funny how french quaters is so nice when we vacationed, now its sold and gone

[autobahn101driversed]

The U.S. government is using crisis to implement new and oppressive laws that is changing America for the worst. The next RIGHT crisis is coming - this crisis will be used by the same old shadow government who will take our country to the next level of the police state.

[futpilot]

I love how enthusiastic your voice is....

[CSXRockford]

LMFAO this is funny as hell. Where are these death camps you guys have been promising for years.

[RockLobster2402]

Well I am one who stayed because I have no car, how do you suggest I should have left? On Foot?

They did not use any city Buses to take people out or I would have left.

People talk about stuff they know nothing about.

We were not given 5 days to leave we were told the hurricane was headed towards Alabama,the Mandatory evacuation was not put forth until 48 hours before the hurricane hit.

[donnyboy13131]

stkkiller8 mann u sound stupid... if u not from new orleans ...SHUT UP

[carabetable]

Most of them didn't have the money or the resources to get out on a days notice. To say that in hind sight is easy but there are hurricanes all the time in NO. Not everyone is obsessed with the media and watch CNN round the clock, so a lot thought this will be a just another storm. The actual storm wasn't that bad. The failure of the levees and the straight up negligence of the local and federal government are the reason why this is a catastrophe. Who are you to say this is or isnt true?

[AntnyDsmn]

it's a shame that at 2:26 there is a repeat recording inserted from the previous video (3 of 8)

[EdieCatskill]

Agree the FEMA trailers sucked. Agree they took way too long and blatantly ignored the people in New Orleans. One thing needs to be straighten out the breech was not blown out. As a native New Orleans I heard this same story for Betsy. Then explain all the houses by the Lake front area where the other breeches were - what can they say? The people I knew that stayed did NOT here bombs. This is causing prejudice all over again. They discussed replacing the levels 20 yrs ago.

[sandhilldiva]

angelblu2024 titally agree!!!! have a neighbor that still lives in one .she knew how to at least open a window.

[ANGELBLU2042]

don't you think it is interesting that people who buy expensive winnebegos for leisure, well, you don't hear about any lawsuits because they have serious nosebleeds and ended up dying from respiratory failure.

[shitfacedrunkguy]

0:08 they got there beeeeer!!!!

[Papicholo1]

@SHITFACEDRUNKGUY Fucking looters

[chiefosage]

For those who think helicopters can't fly in a downpour just thing of the coast guard choppers that go out in all kinds of weather to rescue those on the high seas. Boy, what a missed call that was huh? Choppers flew in Vietnam in all sorts of weather also. Just to clarify

[Papicholo1]

@cheifosage...No they can't asswipe....do some research you fucking moron...

[timm55]

There are toxins in everything we use daily i.e. tv dinners, GAS!, natural gas ect ect . These trailers were never meant to be used as long term residents. they were produced for summer camping trips everyone knows the dangers of consumer products in large quantities or long term use! Ok so I'll heat all my food in tv dinner packages from now on and see what happens.

[gateofsunrise]

The truth of the matter is, it was not safe to go down there. No one wants to address the elephant in the room. NO body wanted to go there until a military presence was there. The Super Dome was a nightmare, no one with a family or a lick of sense was going into that area without back-up. Bring supplies down? They were looting and killing down there. Delay? You bet. Bombing? Who knows. It happened. It was fixed and things went on. Right? Wrong? Make things good again, that's all that counts.

[wakclips]

Grew up near Li Joreaageorge St & flsulyve St.

[jbubbjw]

Love how fast he attempts to discredit personal account.

[NewOrleansTours]

My Room mate Is Suing FEMA After Becoming Very ill To The Point He almost Died!

[jhnb12876]

you people are dupped. i am from right outside new orleans and i seen the levee concrete walls that were pushed back from water & allmost broken throuth all over new orleans and metairie.I worked there. The levees broke at a bunch of places not just the 9th ward .this is bs and the historical part of new orleans that he talks about can not be flooded by a levee break because it is on higher ground and the water goes to lower parts in the city. the french quarter and old city has NEVER flooded.

[necuntlips]

and this is how we turn a catastrophic disaster into a white black thing.thanks assholes

[bds10181978]

Actually I wasn't there when that happens so that's wrong question to ask me. But I do know common sense when it comes to history that repeats itself.

[pfriverrat]

lets talk common sence for a second. forget your history for a minute and your guilt of it. How can anyone stand there, watch the levee get blown, watch the water rush in, take thier house out, but yet manage to out run the rushing water in a big rig truck?

[bds10181978]

Yeah, I;m not trying to argue but trying to get to the point what really happened. i was born there and that's why I wanted to talk about the history of New Orleans and it gets deep. To be honest I wanted to know how can someone seen a levee being blown up myself. I don't know, but people in California where I live at now is talking about it too and I found that shocking.

[superdodgerdog]

what a crock of shit..... dude your full of crap... the federal government didn't blow up anything to save the French Quarter.. it sits above sea level... too bad they didn't blow it up with those lazy ass people still living in the 9th ward.... what a bunch of shit

[bds10181978]

Well then who did?

[ajaniuhuru]

it seems to me it should be called "Federally Eliminate Mass Americans!

[Stunr99]

Wow, I'm glad there are nut jobs who have time to make up bullshit like this out of a natural disaster. What a bunch of losers. Katir Couric..pssstt dont make me laugh.

[Anonymous31195]

While I do believe in the whole Agenda behind the former Bush Administrator let alone the rest of the elite, but I don't believe the levees were blown because there was the fact that the levees were built poorly, maybe the poorly built levees were because of the government, but I don't think that the levees were dynamited because of the fact that there were people BLOCKS, literally BLOCKS, away from the levees would have felt the impact of such a dynamite, maybe even have seen the light.

[bds10181978]

UHH, NO THE LEVEES WERE BLOWN UP.

[pfriverrat]

lol, i grew up on a river, where is your proof. i already shot holes in all the stories so far. My favorte is the one about Joe Edwards, had time to watch it get blown up, watch it knock down his house, but yet had time to round up all the people around and out run the speed and force of the same water that took out his house in a big rig truck.

[bds10181978]

No, I'm not from N.O. but I was born there and starting to know its history and its make me sad when I learn it. I don't know that much at all but I'm starting to realize it and I learned that the history of New Orleans is that sad.

[bigc028282]

I love the idiots who blame those that, in the end result, were f12ck out of help. there are those that call it the Mississippi Flush because of the effects on the poor and those that contribute to social problems. "They put guns on the streets, drugs in there hands, put them in projects, and you think you would so better or that those around you would. You know who you are, those that blame the victims, and you assh12es. By the way, your victims also.

[ducksgirl02]

hey idiot....how about this...they were warned to get out...and didn't......because they were too stupid....

[mike73173]

Ducksgirl02...I'm not going to attack you for your statement. I'm going to add a different perspective. There are many people in New Orleans that could not relocate because of lack of funds. Have you ever tried to pick up everything you own and then just move in a day? It requires a massive amount of money and resources. Many of these people were not stupid, just far too poor to make escape their situation.

[gwapindust]

I packed and moved in one day before and it cost me 40 bucks for gas. That was it. 40 bucks. What massive amount of money are you talking about?

[mike73173]

Some people need to do more than just get gas money to leave. Some people have family, possessions, family etc. Your 40 dollars covered you. I'm sure if you had others to care for it would have been a bit different.

[castodiego]

who would want to bomb a shithole? doesnt add up, does it...

[bds10181978]

Uhh, George W. Bush

[Shelleyfg87]

This is exactly like 9/11, they wouldn't give responders the proper equipment to protect themselves from the toxic air at Ground ero. If you don't believe 9/11 and Katrina was an inside job, then you are extremely naive!

[CAL09876]

baby they never warned us to leave until after they found out the leeves got blown up you were not there so you dont know what really went on they were stopping a lot of ppl from leaving so therefore they wanted some of us dead

[promofo4]

i've been through plenty of hurricanes. if you dont evacuate its your own damn fault. people who were stopped from leaving, probably would have been stuck in traffic as the hurricane hit.

[879twist]

inside job??? open your eyes and minds

[toxicbec1]

fema sux how could they leave ppl to die its so wrong i have a 6 month old i could never let her starve or go with out water. if your gov was american then why did they leave u guys to rot no matter what colour your skin is god loves everybody i hope god strikes them down, by the way im a australian

[321eyr]

its sad the way we can help other places but not our own!! how can you tell a old poor person who got her grandkids to pack up and leave? first where she going go? how she going get there? and who going help her get there beside who stayed in her hood? sumtimes the media only tells yu wad they want! its folks who could not leave! just because you poor dont mean yu dont have a right. it was rich people who could not get out! i stayed in Fl its hard to keep gettin up and moving every time they say

[MssWho]

At this point, I don't think its about why someone didn't leave, now its all about why the help didn't come and fast.

Those poor people, how could our country behave this. I am ashamed

I think the goverment counts on us staying so busy with blaming each other for things that maybe we wont notice what they are doing.

We need to wake up. and do it soon.

We need to know who we can trust.

[stkkiller8]

Don't give me that the people there said no i'm not leaving..They made there minds up they were stayin.. They were puting people all over texas and oklahoma and provide a way to get out. They knew they lived in a bad spot if something like that happen and they still stayed.. like i said don't get me wrong i feel real bad for them and i sent money and help any way i could i'm just sayin they could have got out if they wanted too.

[chocolateeyes21]

I am glad you post this.

[stkkiller8]

How are you going to blame the goverment..The people were gave a warning to get out 5 days before it hit.. They didn't leave I feel sorry for them but damn why would you stay there you know it was going to be bad there. Yeah the gov. didn't do the best job but hell take some action on your own and get out.. Look what happen this time they left and they are alive its not that hard.. I don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything that jmo

[EndeavorFreedom]

Keep watching...

[catlu]

because , THEY HAD NO WHERE TO GO! how to you tell so one to get out and not provide them no where to go. look up the Gretna police, they would not allow the Katrina victims to cross the bridge into Mississippi

[stkkiller8]

they had shuttle bus going in and out getting people out of there.. so don't give me that they had no where to go. they had plenty of time to get out.

[catlu]

maybe you will just never understand . watch

The truth about Katrina by Eric Arceneaux..maybe you will

[emergencyexit16]

first..they had a few buses..nowhere enough...second..GO WHERE??????? be taken to shreveport and live in the streets?

[emergencyexit16]

THANK YOU...I HATE HOW ALL THESE SUBURBANITES AND SOCCER MOMS THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!! It really pisses me off..

[emergencyexit16]

are you serious? dude...go where? do you realize how expensive it is to evacuate a city? what if you don't have a car? or a big family? answer these questions for me on a very limited budget..then I will respect your opinion..but of course..you're just some surbanite, right?

[NOLAisLove]

Where you in New Orleans at the time. Because I was, and I am POSITIVE we weren't given 5 days notice to leave. Unless you were down there you have no idea what the hell was going on. So until you know your facts, keep your uneducated opinion to yourself.

[AudaciousSounds]

@stkkiller8, You can't evacuate if you don't have the money or affordable transportation out of the city.

[RockLobster2402]

@stkkiller8 Well I am one who stayed because I have no car, how do you suggest I should have left? On Foot?

They did not use any city Buses to take people out or I would have left.

People talk about stuff they know nothing about.

We were not given 5 days to leave we were told the hurricane was headed towards Alabama,the Mandatory evacuation was not put forth until 48 hours before the hurricane hit.

[turkeysaw]

@stkkiller8 i know what you mean and it sounds so easy but believe it or not some people had no where to go. I know that is hard to believe but some people really had no where to go. its so sad :(

i do feel like if i was in that situation that i wouldn't see it as being that easy.

[bklynleo887]

@stkkiller8 You're absolutely right .... most of these people had tons of resources to be able to vacate at the drop of a dime. What's wrong with them??? They're so stupid!!! They were born with silver spoons in their mouths and living in the lap of luxury and definitely should've been able to evacuate ............ due to your somewhat ignorant and delusional comment, I think I should take the time and inform you that I'm being sarcastic, in case you didn't know.

[ZipOnOver]

@stkkiller8 Why is this comment up here rather than burried? Thumbs down this comment! Anyone go to nhc.noaa.gov KATRINA Graphics Archive will see 5 days out trina was to hit east of pcola, not till 3 days out did it shift to barely include orleans. Winds 5 days out were 35mph with slim chance of cat 2 at greatest. It was not till Thursday afternoon the path shift to Norleans and look to be a cat 2 or greater, that is only 3 and one half days of warning. This was short notice!

[mamacornettesmoney]

@ZipOnOver Not true at all. We were talking about the possiblity of this one being the big one on Friday & it hit on Monday & the people I was talking with already knew about it for a day or two. It was a Cat 5 on Sunday & dropped to a Cat 3 that night. It was also headed STRAIGHT to NOLA, then shifted East toward MS Gulf Coast. They were giving us SEVERE warnings, saying this could be the end of NOLA & the Gulf Coast all weekend. There were more severe warnings on Katrina than ever.

[mrcoach33]

@stkkiller8 and you're in your home nice and dry playing on the computer ! shut up clown !

[5anelso]

@stkkiller8

I was in Katrina, and we were given a warning to get out the day of the hurricane.

[AroundSun]

@5anelso The weather channel was telling everyone how deadly and dangerous this thing was around 5 days in advance. category 5, 165 mph winds, gusting over 200mph, moving north, perfectly circular, 90 degree waters lying ahead. they compared it to camille. city is under sea level. the levees were weak. this was the perfect storm and warnings were FAR in advance.

[mamacornettesmoney]

@5anelso Not true. I was there too and we were beihng warned by at least the Friday before, though people were talking about it before that. By Saturday, they were issuing SEVERE warnings. There were PSAs BEGGING people to take it seriously because it might be the worst natural disaster in US history & could potentially bury NOLA. I heard that on the radio & TV with my own ears.

[ilovemyweeniedog]

my sister lived in a fema trailer and got bad phemonia on the lungs and now her lungs are permantley scared

[beastshawnee]

I'm telling people to get organized and to take action against the top leaders of the wrecking of the constitution and the country. Action means removing them from their cozy lives.

[Osiris0175]

The thought of this is scary...

[EndeavorFreedom]

Realization is worse...

[societalnorms]

Yes, you are right! Thank you so much for posting!

[vortigern5]

@EndeavorFreedom ...... I look forward to fighting by your side for freedom at the front line in the years ahead.

[scumgod13]

@EndeavorFreedom And its happening, more and more we are becoming a Police state.Recently I heard that 3 states have already made it a Felony to film police while on duty,and 12 more are in the process of doing so.Why,because too many cops are being caught in the act of brutality.They want us to see just enough to create Civil unrest but not enough to get important people involved.

Its just a matter of time;what do we do.I feel for the first ones that come to my home.

[mrdouglas51510]

@scumgod13 That's bullshit..... In no state is a felony or nisdemeanor to film police while on duty as long as they are in a public location

[NOLAisLove]

Living in/through it is even worse.
