WE LIVE IN A MADHOUSE OF STUNNING NEGLECT...THREE FUCKING DAYS TO HURRICANE SEASON...A LEVEE COLLAPSES IN NEW ORLEANS. WHERE ARE THE PROSECUTORS...WTF ARE THEY DOING, BUSTING A THREE CARD MONTY GAME? IT'S TIME TO HOLD THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH, DESTRUCTION, DISRUPTION, AND INJURY RESPONSIBLE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE ANYMORE?



FACTS:
"People died..safety .. exchanged for efficiency" UC Berkeley expert.
Katrina report blames human errors Poor levees, policies cited by investigators

Hurricane Katrina wouldn't have breached the region's hurricane protection system had it been properly financed, designed, built and maintained, say a group of forensic scientists.

During Katrina, the 17th Street Canal flood wall protecting Jefferson Parish was about to collapse . . . but the one protecting Orleans Parish failed first
"The west wall was at the point of incipient failure, meaning if the water had stayed at that elevation just a little longer, or had the water risen higher, we would have seen a release of floodwater to the Jefferson Parish side," team member Bob Bea, a geotechnical engineer from Berkeley, said this week.


KATRINA: Contractors rake it in as they clean it up
Critics say FEMA overpays, fails to supervise disaster recovery firms

For companies in the disaster business, 2005 was a very good year. And if preseason predictions are correct, it could be the first in a series of profitable years for a rapidly growing industry that encompasses engineering firms, debris haulers and logistical specialists who rush in whenever disaster strikes.

In each area, the report finds that lack of federal leadership has left the crippled city with a patchwork system of storm protection that leaves New Orleans at serious risk:

The city’s pump system, designed to prevent flooding in low-lying areas, has not been tested and repaired after being corroded after Katrina. Three pumps failed during a light rain in April, and doubts about oversight and evacuation plans have added to the chaos.

AND TODAY --- WHAT TOTAL BULL SHIT THIS IS

With hurricane season only three days away, the Army Corps of Engineers on Monday announced that a 400-foot section of earthen hurricane protection levee being rebuilt near Buras High School in Plaquemines Parish slumped by more than 6 feet overnight Saturday, and repairs could take three to six weeks.


Who will be held responsible and what will the charges be?

Since several thousand people died and tens of thousands incurred injuries that are no doubt felonious as a result of the deliberate, by choice, failure to fix these properly, we can expect indictments sometime before the statute of limitations expires.

It has to happen or there is no meaning to our judicial system.

Thanks to poster UP2Late for posting a real news (i.e., fake) story by Reuters and poster
pitohui for his update on the failed repairs.


oh, btw, the screwed the citizens out of their votes as a bonus...http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0603/S00016.htm
