Army Corps Of Engineers Blamed For Hurricane Katrina

A federal judge has ruled the Army Corps of Engineers’ failure to properly maintain a navigation channel, led to massive flooding by Hurricane Katrina.

In a landmark decision, U.S. District Judge Standwood Duval Ruled in favor of residents, who claim the Army Corps’s oversight of the Mississippi River- Gulf Outlet, led to the flooding of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish.

Wednesday’s (November 18) ruling just says what New Orleans’ residents have been saying since the storm hit on August 29, 2005, [it]was a man made disaster caused by the Army Corps’ failure to maintain the levee system protecting the city.

Well, the Army Corps of Engineers is of course a United States federal government institution. And as such, it can hardly be blamed as the sole culprit of the Katrina disaster.

The George W. Bush administration had been, and was still, cutting back on the Army Corps of Engineers’ anti flooding work, in order to throw tax money into the bottomless pits of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It had sent local National Guard people, who otherwise might have helped the flood victims, to those wars. These Bush policies cost many lives.
