Read the article and I know it will not be the final word on the subject.
By other accounts the Lake and Canal were experiencing Cat 4 conditions and the Cat 3 Flood wall gave way. Not by over-topping but by breaking through which the WA Post mentions.
The Wa Post is in error when it refers to the Miss Gulf outlet be little used too. It is used by many smaller ships and tows, hell it brings in a big percentage of the country's coffee or at least it use to.
Any rate I am not an expert on levees but I do know the difference between a earthen levee and a cement wall. So many posting on the internet seem to have a difficulty telling the difference between the two, especially the press.
It would be no surprise to me to find out the cement (concrete flood wall) were inferior.
Louisiana has had to rebuild almost all of it I-20 overpasses because of crooked contractor lightening up on the cement and re-bar to make more money. A past Governor was responsible for that debacle.
By the way are living or from Louisiana?
