Nope. There is no risk that the river will change course if the Morganza Structure is opened. I dont know where this idea came from.

Yeah, with that thinking, opening the Bonnet Carre could change its course too.

They aren't saying the river will change course due to opening of the Morganza. They are saying if the structures fail, the river could change course. The natural flow of the river would be the atchafalaya now if not for levees and control structures. In 1900, 5% of the river went down the atchafalaya. By 1950, 30% was going that way. Without human intervention, atchafalaya would have become the Mississippi sometime in the last 30-40 years.
