[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SP9033 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dthurman Again, since the levee wasn't built to hurricane 5 specs, WHY didn't the city plan around this. It's called planning or thinking outside the box. Again no one taking responsability and in turn wanting to blame others. [/quote] The City of New Orleans predates the computer modeling and engineering capibilities that made it possible for the Army Corp of Engineer to discover that the levee system wasn't able to withstand a category 4 or 5 storm. Your statement makes no sense as related to the levees. Now, if you were to say the City of New Orleans upon learning of this short coming should have planned for secure command and control facilities able to be functional in flood conditions, I would agree with you. Jim [/quote] I thought that was what I said, though someone had stated that a special or PBS show did in fact show way before the hurricane that it was of concern that the levee, which is from what I understand why they have flooding now. So NO, the mayor and govenor surely knew they had a risk with a Cat 5 storm. To keep saying it was the feds and Corp part for not building a better wall, and that this is why it happened negates the fact that even so, they could have used more resolve to remove people, cry louder about the levee etc. Isn't hindsight great.
