i have to say, here in europe UK, we have a department called the board of trade, and various other departments that would not allow army engineers to do civil work, outside an emergany situation, if a company done this, uk, and it had 53 faults, then all engineers and paper work involved would go before the board of trade inquiry, and those whom were found at fault would.... GET FUCKED. THOM.
A well made. Well constructed & well presented video, i have worked and lived in holland meny times since the 1970s, they do have summer long maintainance programs on the dams / levees, you only need be there to see, but the locals the people, take note and interact & get involved, you americans need to do the same at every level guys.... every level.... thom in scotland.
Something to look into, the engineers have orders and funding. If the funding for the levees or the orders were somehow interfered with then the disaster was avoidable at a whole nother level.
Saying "if it wasn't for Katrina flooding would have never damaged the levees" is like saying "if it wasn't for traffic, that bridge in Minneapolis would have never been damaged.........Both Katrina and the traffic revealed structural flaws; both exposed engineering mistakes.
and yes the port needs to be open but 800000 people are not needed to keep a port open so if you move to new orleans and this happens to you dont run around blaming every1 just look in the mirror and blame your dumbass self.
And if you move to south Florida?( severe hurricane strikes 4X as often as NOLA), and if you move to L.A. on a major earthquake fault line, and if you move to tornado alley? and if you move to terrorist strike central (NYC) ? or if you move to a river flood plain?

Aren't you upset that your tax$ were wasted by poor engineering?
