- Locals from Lakeview subdivision of New Orleans report
that after Katrina passed a loose barge struck levee causing breach that
flooded city.
-
- WMR has just been informed by evacuees in Baton Rouge
from Lakeview, a well-to-do New Orleans neighborhood, that the flooding
of the city was caused by a loose barge striking the levee on the 17th
Street Canal. The breach was not caused by rising flood waters as reported
by FEMA and other agencies. Lakeview is some 1.5 miles down Veterans Boulevard
from the 17th St. Canal breach.
-
- Distraught evacuees want to know why the Coast Guard
or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not secure the barge. The evacuees
who witnessed the barge striking the levee also want to know why the major
media is not covering this story. It is not known what company owns the
barge but if it is a major campaign contributor to the GOP, the answer
is self-evident.
