Im so confused on how the city was even built. Did they just hold the water back with a board all around and start building??? My mind can’t comprehend HOW

It wasn’t blown up.. it’s called a storm surge. The levees failed

there’s no way the levees broke that easily.. i believe someone did something to it. also why was it so short if the city is below sea level anyways?

Doug glatt :
fun fact, as seen in the videos the levees were more then capable of withstanding the pressure. explosives handlers with USACE were ordered to blow the lower levees to prevent flooding higher up knowing it would kill most people in the lower areas (poor neighborhood)

They blew it up. Plain and simple. Plenty of people said the storm had passed. Anddddd they heard a loud boom. I'm not even from there and I truly believe it. So sorry this happened to New Orleans still praying

I'm sicka my people saying they blew the lever up. Friday before on the news they said water was moving up the Mississippi ahead of the storm. if water is coming in beforehand and Katrina is bringing more water than that with her, the levees are going to break.

I blame them people who built a structure OVER it instead of trying to help the city by trying to add more land💀
