#1 That's still 972 that could have been saved if mayor Nagin did not let the hundreds of available school and city transportation buses flood out. That's 972 that died as Nagin was fiddling while New Orleans flooded, crying that only Greyhound buses, not city transport, were good enough. That's 972 that died as the result of New Orleans politicians and well connected sqaundering and stealing the billions of federal tax dollars given for New Orleans flood control.

#2 All that and Katrina may have been weaker than first thought.

#3 If Katrina was that weak that means that the levies were not as solid as advertised or more extacly not as solid as the price they had been sold.

#4 JFM, there was a piece earlier in relation to some evaluations by engineers at LSU that a) the storm surges _in the canals_ weren't large enough to overtop the seawalls (which were the parts that were breached); also, the seawalls that broke were all of relatively recent construction.

So either there's somthing wrong with the design themselves (possible) or the seawalls weren't built to spec (IMHO more possible).

#5 972? Does that include the poor black folks vaporized when Bush blew up the levees? Or hunted down, killed and eaten by government trained killer dolphins? Does it? No, sir! They'll never find them!

#10 Does that include the poor black folks ... hunted down, killed and eaten by government trained killer dolphins?
Dolphins didn't kill or eat anybody. It was the secret Alligator Predators squad the government has trained to go after Jihadis in the marshes of Iraq that escaped from their secret compound under the Superdome. But shhhhh ... it's a secret!
