they have hatches large enough to lower in a skid steer. outside of digging out a substantial portion, this is the only way.

Just to get the mud out, how about using the pumps that cement trucks use to move redimixed cement to back yards etc where the truck can't go. If they can pump cement, they can move mud. Dump it in the lower ninth, it can use all the elevation it can get.

If it was just mud that might work, but that's a bunch of other stuff that's being held together by the mud. They'd be constantly trying to clear the intake clogged with all the other shite.

I would like to know how long have they been there and if anyone knew about it. I find it hard to believe they just happened to find these cars today.
What made them go look?

Nawlins is still a shithole—Wow, who knew!

Probably the fact that the city floods anytime a heavy dew accumulates on the ground.

This is somehow Katrina’s fault

Damn how wide are the storm grates?

Well yeah but why’d they wait so long?
I would really like to know how long they’ve been there.
Some how I want this to be Mitch’s fault

Any idea when that RFQ is coming out?

That was my favorite part. Yeah, multiple large obstructions have no impediment on flow. Water flows so therefore this type of shite couldn’t contribute to flooding.

Looks like you could get a small dozer in there and push it out

THIS is where I parked my car!

They pulled a dozen or so out of Bayou St John by the dental school years ago. Also by all those little bridges going East from the Rigolets

Why hasn't the city done anything they are supposed to? Incompetence.

To the extent these canals weren't being cleaned/inspected on a regular basis, it's absolutely falling on him.

That's crazy!!! How did they get in there?

Guy said it was a major problem. Water still flowed around it, so it wasn't a complete blockage, but still a major one that no doubt leads to problems.
I've said for a year now, the current problem isn't the pumps. You can have all the pump capacity in the world, if you can't get enough water to the pumps, it is useless.
