There were no breached levees. The levees of New Orleans survived just fine It was walls of canals that broke. Seawalls. Two or three feet of reinforced concrete with steel facings.
Two different canals, across town from each other suffered the same improbable failure of two or three feet of reinforced concrete with steel facings. At the same time, mere blocks away from the canal blasts, shotgun worker cottages, termite ridden and balanced on two feet of bricks without foundation, they came through the hurricane just fine. Why wouldn't they let the people out of the SuperDoom once the storm was over? These concrete and steel canal walls didn't "collapse" for nearly a day after the storm passed. They all "collapsed" near bridges for a quick getaway Bob wrote: >Matthew McDaniel wrote: > > >>Bob: >> >>Did you get my email about the bombing of the levy? >> >>Is this possible, this is really outrageous, but it would work to take >>focus away from a failed war. >> >>Seems to have backdrafted but makes one wonder how the levy could >>collapse. >> >>Further makes one wonder why buses weren't mobilizedm, why all the >>other stuff was controlled, give the Americans an exploited problem in >>their backyard to take their minds off the war? >> >>And who is going to pay for it all? >> >>If the flooding was preplanned, I mean like five minutes before the >>frog men got there, then it puts all this in a more logical light, why >>all this stuff has been happening, course it may be the downfall of >>the pres to, Iraq, Crawford and now this? >> >>Matthew >> >> >We have been told the levee was doomed and I >haven't run across any objective contrarian >engineering to counter that.
