Katrina-related: why do people claim the government blew up the levees? Is there anything to support why people would believe this? I'm genuinely curious, as I have heard people claim this, but I don't have background info since I'm not from the area
I can answer part of this. I worked in the lower ninth ward the concrete fill that was trucked in for fill had blasting caps all in it. I can see where the average person seeing that would think that the wall was blown.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the rumor started with a few dumbasses in the 9th ward claiming they heard loud explosions.
In reality it loose barges slamming against that industrial canal flood wall they heard is the most likely story.
