wanted to watch a documentary on Katrina after the thread from earlier. I couldn’t really find any on Prime, though.
At one point in time Big Charity was on prime video

You should read The Great Deluge. It's a pretty fascinating.

Agreed. I read it years ago when it first came out. Very well put together book.

It was a failure by the city and state. The city for not forcing evacuation sooner and releasing assets for the evac, like buses.
Blanco for not stepping in and turning everything into a Dem government vs rep feds before the storm.
Brownie was a mistake but he wasn't the cause of why Katrina and it's aftermath was so awful. That rests on nagin and Blanco.

Blacks did get the brunt of it. Not because of racism or anything, because the city was 60% black and 32% white.
It would be like complaining about a disproportionate amount of blacks being killed on any given MLK Drive.

You can line up all the busses you want, if people don’t want to leave you’re not going to make them leave and sit in a non air conditioned hot, smelly, uncomfortable school bus for 12 hours

The best thing you can take away from that film is to prepare for disaster yourself with your own food and water so you don't have to wait on the government to bring it to you, and leave if they tell you to leave
Posted on 7/30/18 at 7:58 am to TigerFanInSouthland
The one thing I took away from Katrina is that most people will expect other people to help them during a time of disaster.
The number one lesson I learned from that was don’t depend on anyone. Be able to save your family and yourself through your own means.

I’d say the majority that stayed were prepared with their own food and water. If the levees wouldn’t have allowed 20’ of water into some of those people’s homes, that food water is useless.
Take away the fact that the levees failed, and we’re not blaming the people who decided to stay.

Anyone who lived in BR area for the floods in 2016 should’ve been reminded about that. Daddy Government isn’t coming save you. It’ll be on yourself and your neighbors.

Yeah I had a friend in lakeview with an elevated house with a water line 7 feet up the living room wall. Congrats. Now your food and water are under water.

Did y’all get that vibe that were older during the time that this whole debacle was race related?
No. Lakeview and St Bernard were devastated just as much as the 9th Ward and those are mostly white areas. The issue was that the majority of the people who didn’t heed the evacuation warnings were black folks from the 9th Ward and NO East and the city and state’s disaster response wasn’t prepared for rescuing thousands and thousands of people where boat or helicopter is the only way to reach them. Who was in charge of those government responses? A democrat governor and black democrat mayor. But its somehow all racist and Bush’s fault

I’ve heard so many horror stories over the years about the total anarchy going on in the city during the days immediately after the storm. I wish some type of video footage would surface to show the mayhem.

Remember the rumors around Baton Rouge about gangs of people looting?
