Lower Ninth Ward Drivethrough

This is a video of a drivethrough of the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. This video was taken in mid October 2006. As you can see, it looks like it happened last month.

Things to watch for:
Me talking about Common Ground 'stealing a school' (St. Mary's)
Meg the tour guide in the background
Shotgun houses
Really bad roads
Empty lots where houses used to be
Military police

I hope you didn't pay someone to got on this tour. It makes me sick to think that people are profiting off of this tragedy. disgusting.

No, I didn't. I was there volunteering, gutting houses, and a local showed us around.

@aggiegrl01 profiting or paying the rent/for food? Just saying, even tho they don't charge they gotta eat too.

you are right, it is really sad to see how liitle is been done to help the people of New Orleans

[CanadianPeamealBacon]

Wow, I don't think we could fully comprehend the devastation unless we were there but this video is so sad to watch. My heart goes out to you b/c I know that not much has been done to help the Lower 9th Ward. That really upsets me. People MUST NOT ever forget what happened in 2005!!!

Yeah I dont see any people. This area is a ghost town.
