observer Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Still an ongoing threat to New Orleans, now Gustav and another one brewing in the Carribean. A Dutch Engineer has said it will take 30 years of continued engineering to make the City Hurricane proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 They will never make New Orleans Hurricane proof - do you see what land its on?? No levee can hold back mother nature completely. I just pray most people will be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 If they flatten everything that's currently below sea level, start filling with hard core and concrete to about 7m above sea level, that should keep 'em dry?!

inky pete Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 We could ship them a load of landfill to raise up the level!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It was interesting to see the disappointment of the TV reporters that New Orleans wasn't washed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 The media have always relished disasters, but who reads about it, and are they supplying the demands of a goulish public? Ever noticed at a traffic accident, just how many rubber kneckers there are?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 it could be that they are dictating the demands to the public and creating the ghoulish behaviour. a sort of vicious circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
