george jung home insurance. People in New Orleans who stayed were poor. Too poor to have a car and or way out but you think home insurance was on their mind.
I hate how no one really mentions what happened to prisoners during Katrina. They were abandoned in the prison, the guards all were outside shooting at anyone who tried leaving the prison. They had no food or water n almost all of their stories lined up pretty closely yet the guards n warden were saying how their crackheads and criminals u can’t believe them. I remember specifically hearing about a 13 y/I girl who was in the juievinal section of the prison being moved to the adult male* section where the nasty sewage water rose to her neck and adult male prisoners actually rescued and escorted her to a window where she swam out. She was trapped in the cell for days in neck deep water w no food or water as welll as hundreds of others. The guards had food and water plenty of it n consumed it in front of inmates. One inmate was jumped, stabbed and when he tried to get help the guards shot him. This is the prison infamous for locking people up holding them way past their release date mistreating inmates to an extreme and holding you for months for misdemeanors traffic violations etc. very very sad the prisoners were literally left to fight for themselves inside and to die basically.
I have family in New Orleans, and last time visiting, some family and I drove through the 9th ward. It is haunting, very desolate with the presence of the ghosts of Katrina very much there.
Lorraine McNeal that was the worst thing they ever did. I’m an hour from New Orleans. They left there and went to cities all around New Orleans after that. You could tell the difference in crime after Katrina. It’s been terrible
NOT so. President Bush called for 3 days to get permission from Governor Blanco to allow him to send the National Guard. This is a states' right issue. She refused. Why? Because she was creating her Foundation called the New Orleans Hurricane Relief Foundation (officers: Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, her husband and their lawyer, Robert Perrot, Jr,) On the third day, the President overrode Blanco's refusals and sent in the Coast Guard and the National Guard.He ordered $91 billion in emergency funding, the aircraft carrier Bataan. and this was coupled with 250,000 volunteers from churches and charitable groups. My daughter as a first responder was part of the group which served the millionth meal on Thanksgiving day prepared by the Methodist churches and the Salvation Army. Governor Blanco and her husband are gone. No one knows how many milllons poured into the NOHRF in those first weeks from every state and from countries around the world. The foundation is still listed as a 501-c charitable foundation in Newport Beach, Ca, with Robert Perrot
It saddens me when any disaster hits, it saddens me even more that new Orleans was the hot topic during katrina. Biloxi, gulfport, bay st. Louis, waveland were decimated to slab. I live here and still, 13 years later, it's not the same. It's definitely not the people of new Orleans fault for the crappy fema director or the circumstances they found themselves facing. It really does go to show that we have to lean on one another. Regardless of race, age, wealth, social standing. We can rebuild our lives and the lives of our neighbors if we stick together.
Amen! I'm from Kenner (New Orleans) and lived in Gulfport for a while... Just moved back to Metairie a few weeks ago. I made a bunch of friends on the coast and heard some of their stories... It was truly devastating what happened there. Where I lived had little to no damage, some areas had minor flooding (like 12-24" in homes) and lots of tree limb and wimd damage... I think the media was fascinated to see the nation's 46th largest city in that condition. But you are right, Hancock and Harrison County were wiped out south of I-10 and Pass Rd. Only good thing is thst it didn't sit under water for weeks. I feel bad for St. Bernard Parish too... They were hit even harder than the lower 9th ward, which really isn't that big of an area, honestly.
It hurts so bad when I see videos of Katrina. New Orleans is my adopted hometown that I visit as much as possible. I have made good friends there. During my most recent trip I was walking in the neighborhood I was staying in and saw the words "Help Us" on someone's rooftop and it broke my heart.
I was just there in September and it was surreal to see those areas up close! So unreal, while the city may never be the same, I enjoyed my time and the accents! lol
I remember seeing so many people suffering after Katrina and it really made me think about my own finances. That could have EASILY been me....So, I immediately started slowly creating an emergency fund. My goal was to have enough money, so that if a storm ever hit, I would not be forced to stay behind because I couldn't afford to leave.
Very nice presentation. Good to see that New Orleans is getting back on its feet again,thanks to the resilience of its citizens. A unique culture endures.

Every natural disaster teaches us the same lesson-NEVER depend on the US government to come help or save you, they will not, or it will come too late. You need to depend on yourself first, then your friends, your community, neighbors, the church, and local charities. Every. Single. Time.
@@tylersmith2152 um what does this have to do communism oh wait anything you don’t like is communism I get it now, but let’s be real it’s good on paper but just impossible to implement.
The beginning of Ms. Teichner's report should have set the tone when Ms. Uddo said, "If the gov't didn't help before, during, and after the storm, then we can't depend on the gov't to help us to rebuild." Evacuations have always been the responsibility of the individual NOT of the local, state, or federal government. First, Mayor Nagin failed to provide any leadership. He was not present during that local TV newscast with the other surrounding SEVEN (?) parish (county) leaders to outline the detailed who, what, when, where, why, and how of the mandatory evacuation for its residents. We watched the TV and knew exactly what to do. These leaders made it clear that "Mayor Nagin was called, but chose not to be present." [See "Timeline of Hurricane Katrina" Wikipedia for the complete explanation.] Second, Nagin was responsible to first alert Gov. Blanco and then inform the Federal gov't for any present and any future help of impending services and/or funds pertaining to THE STORM. As a result, no support was given. Third, Nagin did not provide shelters, emergency food supplies, transportation out of the city, etc., nor did he inform anyone with an essential emergency plan of hierarchy duties to perform or follow. Those of us who watched and listened to our parish leaders had evacuated by Sunday. By Sunday night, all of these leaders had uttered their immortal words: "Get the h--- out of this city...NOW!” Nagin failed to do anything until 10 hours before Katrina was to hit New Orleans. For the wonderful New Orleans citizens, they deserved to be treated with dignity and respect by their own mayor whom they voted into office. We have all seen the unforgettable photographic images. After "THE STORM" all bridges had been destroyed. All major highways into the city had been flooded. The rest of the roads were impassable. The New Orleans airport had suffered damages and its personnel had departed. The roads to the military airport near N.O. had houses and mounds of debris obstructing them. It was impossible for Air Force One to have landed anywhere and President Bush to have visited New Orleans. The President was “out of touch" as Ms. Teichner made subtlety clear with her voiceover showing the President Bush looking out the window of Air Force One. It was also impossible for any other form of transportation to be driven into this city. All credit should be given to Col. Honore' for initiating orders for the National Guard to help the many thousands in The Superdome. However, Nagin was on the radio blaming the state gov't and the federal gov't by screaming at them "get off your a---- to help". He should have heeded his own words. During this time please look at his photo-op images with Gov. Blanco and President Bush. (His head was still bald but his face had grown a beard!) Where are the images of his visiting The Superdome to relive their suffering AND doing something about it? Please know that Hurricane Katrina inflicted damage of biblical portions to the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area. It annihilated the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its path of mass destruction trekked through Alabama's Gulf Coast into Birmingham and beyond. There were over a hundred counties/parishes that were affected and the multitude of miles effected by Katrina. Ten of thousands of people suffered. A hurricane is NEVER selective with its path of devastation. Katrina did not discriminate. What is unbelievable is that THE PRESS in all of its modern forms, only consecrated on one neighborhood - The Lower Ninth Ward. Shame on THE PRESS for not giving equal time to others who also lost everything. Shame on THE PRESS for continuing to fail to seek the total truth, and report the totality of these facts. Shame on THE PRESS for reporting that the colossal failure was placed at the state and federal level and not with Mayor Nagin who failed to provide leadership at the Genesis of Katrina. We will always mourn the 1200 who perished in Katrina’s winds. Our sorrow will always be of the tens of thousands who remained in New Orleans. We will always grieve for the unbearable massive suffering that was endured because all levels of government did not response properly. Those of us who lived through the horror of Katrina and continue to carry its burden pray that the truth will be told before we perish from this earth. Maybe next time, Ms. Teichner and all of THE PRESS, might want to seek the truth and report all of the facts. Freedom of THE PRESS was established as a noble institution. Unfortunately, its presentence in these times only serves as a tabloid in its many forms by its brevity of facts, its sound bites, and the regurgitation of previously told tales.DMP
+DMP As an 11 year old living in Illinois, I was well informed of the mandatory evacuation. How could I not be, with the 24 hour news coverage of a category 5 hurricane headed toward NOLA and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on every major news channel?
DMP It was a colossal failure on ALL levels...City, state and federal!!!! The Coast Guard and Reserves saved lives. Volunteers in boats and people commandeered busses to save lives. That's who helped..THE greatest country in the world, leaving it's people to die. There are no excuses...Ships could have been prepositioned with supplies. Black eye on Bush, the buck stops with him. He took responsibility finally. My heart still aches.
Just some info for some New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in North America established by the French before the United States even existed, the whole freaking city is a historical and cultural site, it is also the top tourist site in Louisiana which brings in a large portion of Louisiana economic revenue, so before you say why rebuild take away one of your states most important historical sites and one of your most important economic activities and see how you would hold up. For some states it wouldn't be a big deal cause you have a lot but for Louisiana one of the poorest states it is very important.
I was born and raised in NO. I was 10 when Betsy struck in '65 and 13 when Camille hit in '69. I left NO in '73 never to return. How anyone that went through Katrina would want to stay and rebuild, when, another hurricane will strike and devastate NO, is baffling.
I used to think that the government loves its people, at least what I was taught. Now I know we aren’t nothing but pedestrians to them, they don’t care if we die or become homeless.
We spent over a month there, and man it was awful. I had only been a rescue swimmer for over a month at a new Squadron when this happened. Felt so bad for the Families, they legit lost everything.
I lived in Louisiana when Katrina happened now I live in Texas and we’re about to get hit by Laura. I can’t seem to get away from these hurricanes lmao
Today 19 years Ago I lost Everything including the shirt off my back. We had to go through decontamination from toxic water full of dead humans, dogs rotten food, oil.The smell oh my God. It was 100% humidity and over 100 degrees. Then they called us REFUGEES. AT THAT MOMENT I NEW WHAT MY GOVERNMENT THOUGHT OF OUR LIVES. I'm never going back.
I lived here for 11 years I was born in hot springs Arkansas nut New Orleans is my home always and it breaks my heart rest in peace all the people who lost their lives
Doesn't New Orleans have a reputation for being one of the top ten most corrupt cities in the USA? If that is the case, it is one of the most corrupt cities in all of the major, advanced, modern, industrialized countries of the world. They build dams and levees that will not protect them from flooding in a hurricane. That for a city founded on a flood plain? You can thank the British. In the 1700s one of three major forced migrations in US history took place. British forces made the French in Acadia in the NE move to Louisiana to the site of present day New Orleans. Those who say what happened that long ago has nothing to do with what happens in the present. As you can see historical chains of cause and effect have much to do with the present. The Brits did not cause corruption there. They did not cause the gross negligence that led to so many deaths. However, British actions in the 1700s did have to do with who is there now, and why they were there, and who died. When it comes to history, you must always consider multiple causation.
@@johnshaw8228 the heck...the British made the Cajuns get out of Nova Scotia But it was the Cajuns choice to come to Louisiana And those who did come here Didn't go into New Orleans, which was French They went into to rural swamp areas
While bush definitely bungled the response the mayor and governor don't get nearly enough blame. Nagan in particular essentially turned down every offer of help he got and then went around yelling at people to fix the problem for him (and then reusing to let them do anything, repeating the cycle).
Nagan also knew 72 hours before it hit that nola would get rammed and declared mandatory evacuation 24 hours before also knew 15% of people who live there couldn’t drive
Is that even true? I don’t think people would be getting rapped in a huge crowd also huge stereotypes alert? Every inmate in anywhere is a raper? I guess so then
It is believed that they used to "blow the levee" on purpose to flood the 9th Ward and St. Bernard in order to save their cash cow....The City (French Quarter, CBD)
Wilbur Snaffel Now that is true & also when u are told to evacuate u shouldn’t question or even try to weather the storm YOU leave but even after all that these people just didn’t deserve this and should have been better taken care in such a bad crisis!!!....
The point is not eveeryone has the privilege to just UP AND LEAVE. the black population of Louisiana was pretty much completely abandoned byt he govt. The rich area Egh French qtr were quickly fixed and up for business while the poorest most vulnerable pople (mostly black) were left homeless and to die....that's the reality of what happned
Where the f did the money we all donated go? Not just insurance payouts and government billions, but all of us out here in the U.S. donated billions to help. A lot of us cut back as much as we could in our personal lives so we could send money to charities to help!
Man I’m Back here today because of yet another stronger record breaking hurricane about to hit the same place again and everything still ain’t fixed from years ago this is crazy and I feel so emotional right now man 😩
I think the banks are reluctant to loan money to rebuild in the 9th ward , because the area is too vulnerable to hurricane and flood damage . Thanks 9th ward should become an open space wetland .
Ray Nagin publically losing his s*** has always been iconic considering what happened with him after Katrina. We watched everything unfold from a small MS town on the eastern side of the storm and it just filled me with so much horror to hear that things had gotten so out of hand. I was a child and never wanted to come back. It's like we keep forgetting that this is an ever present threat.
the 2nd video I have seen saying something about there only being 1 grocery store in lower ninth ward, not necessarily true, aren't they about 1 mile from the walmart supercenter in Chalmette? and another mile or so to a Winn Dixie there as well?......
This was, in many ways, the “9/11” for African Americans. The September 11 attacks themselves mostly killed wealthy white office workers in the towers, and in parallel, it was overwhelmingly Black people who lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina. And just as America’s institutionalised racism guaranteed, the federal response to Katrina was far worse than that of 9/11. The victims of the flash floods were falsely portrayed as looters and rioters (when the small amount of looting that was committed was out of sheer desperation for clean water and food), the recovery was far worse and far more unequal, and of course, there’s virtually no recognition of Katrina as being anything other than an “equal opportunities storm”.
she's a wonderful woman. the government has some uses, but in catastrophes (and other things) it's a long haul if you're lucky to get anything. It might not be a bad idea that private funds for cities and towns are established supported by a very small recurring percentage of homeowner's mortgage payments. This may help fill in gaps in individual insurance policies.
Just to think that this next hurricane season for 2023 is going to be catastrophic. I’m fretting for it but I’m also ready. Floridian born i don’t face away from no storm no matter how strong. But if 2022 had a “relapse” of 2004’s hurricane tracks then 2005’s tracks would be concrete evidence that systems just recycle after 2 decades and with warning climate and water surface being in the 80’s to 90’s any gulf hurricane will be absolutely deadly.
The Japanese went through a natural disaster far worse than Katrina. They reacted much better to the crisis than did the people of New Orleans. What do they know?
@Lilly S Well don't be a rude person about it you do know japan is a island less multi-cultured and populated, and the U.S had 282 million people in 2004
The Japanese helped one another out. There was zero looting, for instance, and nobody sat around waiting for the government. Even the Yakuza, organized crime gangs, came in from all over the country to help out the civilians who lost everything.
Katrina brought trauma to LA and I will always remember the horrors I heard when I got older about Katrina.. all those people that died and weren’t helped 😔
De que parte de Mexico es usted? Pero xyando todos los de New Orleans evacuaron a Texas , los crimenes subieron en todas Las ciudades aqui en Dallas,Houston,San Antonio y Austin. Pero mas en Houston porque llegaron mas ahi por k estan mas serca.
Common sense tells you don’t live below sea level. New Orleans is 9’to 13’ below sea level. The American Red Cross doesn’t have hurricane shelters in below sea level, Mayor Ray Nagan told the poor people to go to the dome. The people expected governments to feed and cloth. Mayor let school buses and regional transportation go under water,could have gotten people out. It all comes down to Democrat run cities, let the government pay for everything.
...you’d be surprised just HOWWWWW many folks in Nola have ZERO ‘common sense’...all talkin’ ‘bout ‘it’s my home’, this & that...GD...MY people left N.England/Scotland/N.Ireland hundreds of years ago, when it was no longer viable....MONTHS on horrible boats, in horrible conditions, to get to hinterlands of New England...me,30-odd years ago, when it was no longer a good place to be, went somewhere ELSE!!!
Almost done with my first tour in the Navy I Almost reupped to help enforce Martial Law as a Military Police/Master at Arms so glad I chose to go home.
It took forever to get help, I was living in Biloxi Mississippi at ghe time I evaluated early we had people who was pushing for us to leave and I immediately left 😢😢, I miss the people in Gulfport and Biloxi (they talk about people who steal but they steal with a pen)
In that part where he's stating but the homeowner and what color of the person was that's true also even if even in a situation like this is crazy I'm telling y'all it has some stuff went on here after hurricane Katrina and during the storm was even worse it wasn't even a hurricane itself it's stuff that you won't believe I rest my case 🙏
The debt doesn’t disappear because the collateral is gone. They’re two different things. Hopefully the bank took the insurance proceeds and wrote off the rest of the loan as they failed to do their due diligence in ensuring the collateral was appropriately insured. Ideally the insurance proceeds would have covered the rebuild costs and then she would have continued making payments as usual on the mortgage.
We ain't seen nothing yet. It should be titled "A tale of two Americas", cause when the going gets tough, the rich get going, and we will be left to defend ourselves.
It happened because some people refuse to properly care for themselves. Their situation was already precarious before Katrina and their first reaction afterward was to look for handouts. There are times when an adult does need help, but many of these people were children masquerading as adults.
Everyone talks about New Orleans getting flooded but nobody talks about Mississippi who got it worse, our whole coast got wiped out, New Orleans didn’t.🙄

Ray Nagin had a lot of nerve he was the mayor he let those buses sit there he should have gotten those people out.
TRUTH ✔️
The beginning of Ms. Teichner's report should have set the tone when Ms. Uddo said, "If the gov't didn't help before, during, and after the storm, then we can't depend on the gov't to help us to rebuild." Evacuations have always been the responsibility of the individual NOT of the local, state, or federal government. First, Mayor Nagin failed to provide any leadership. He was not present during that local TV newscast with the other surrounding SEVEN (?) parish (county) leaders to outline the detailed who, what, when, where, why, and how of the mandatory evacuation for its residents. We watched the TV and knew exactly what to do. These leaders made it clear that "Mayor Nagin was called, but chose not to be present." [See "Timeline of Hurricane Katrina" Wikipedia for the complete explanation.] Second, Nagin was responsible to first alert Gov. Blanco and then inform the Federal gov't for any present and any future help of impending services and/or funds pertaining to THE STORM. As a result, no support was given. Third, Nagin did not provide shelters, emergency food supplies, transportation out of the city, etc., nor did he inform anyone with an essential emergency plan of hierarchy duties to perform or follow. Those of us who watched and listened to our parish leaders had evacuated by Sunday. By Sunday night, all of these leaders had uttered their immortal words: "Get the h--- out of this city...NOW!” Nagin failed to do anything until 10 hours before Katrina was to hit New Orleans. For the wonderful New Orleans citizens, they deserved to be treated with dignity and respect by their own mayor whom they voted into office.
We have all seen the unforgettable photographic images. After "THE STORM" all bridges had been destroyed. All major highways into the city had been flooded. The rest of the roads were impassable. The New Orleans airport had suffered damages and its personnel had departed. The roads to the military airport near N.O. had houses and mounds of debris obstructing them. It was impossible for Air Force One to have landed anywhere and President Bush to have visited New Orleans. The President was “out of touch" as Ms. Teichner made subtlety clear with her voiceover showing the President Bush looking out the window of Air Force One. It was also impossible for any other form of transportation to be driven into this city. All credit should be given to Col. Honore' for initiating orders for the National Guard to help the many thousands in The Superdome. However, Nagin was on the radio blaming the state gov't and the federal gov't by screaming at them "get off your a---- to help". He should have heeded his own words. During this time please look at his photo-op images with Gov. Blanco and President Bush. (His head was still bald but his face had grown a beard!) Where are the images of his visiting
The Superdome to relive their suffering AND doing something about it?
Please know that Hurricane Katrina inflicted damage of biblical portions to the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area.
It annihilated the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its path of mass destruction trekked through Alabama's Gulf Coast into Birmingham and beyond. There were over a hundred counties/parishes that were affected and the multitude of miles effected by Katrina. Ten of thousands of people suffered. A hurricane is NEVER selective with its path of devastation. Katrina did not discriminate. What is unbelievable is that THE PRESS in all of its modern forms, only consecrated on one neighborhood -
The Lower Ninth Ward. Shame on THE PRESS for not giving equal time to others who also lost everything. Shame on THE PRESS for continuing to fail to seek the total truth, and report the totality of these facts. Shame on THE PRESS for reporting that the colossal failure was placed at the state and federal level and not with Mayor Nagin who failed to provide leadership at the Genesis of Katrina. We will always mourn the 1200 who perished in Katrina’s winds. Our sorrow will always be of the tens of thousands who remained in New Orleans. We will always grieve for the unbearable massive suffering that was endured because all levels of government did not response properly. Those of us who lived through the horror of Katrina and continue to carry its burden pray that the truth will be told before we perish from this earth.
Maybe next time, Ms. Teichner and all of THE PRESS, might want to seek the truth and report all of the facts. Freedom of THE PRESS was established as a noble institution. Unfortunately, its presentence in these times only serves as a tabloid in its many forms by its brevity of facts, its sound bites, and the regurgitation of previously told tales.DMP
+DMP As an 11 year old living in Illinois, I was well informed of the mandatory evacuation. How could I not be, with the 24 hour news coverage of a category 5 hurricane headed toward NOLA and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on every major news channel?
This storm floded six flags New orealns
+Minecraft Master too

DMP It was a colossal failure on ALL levels...City, state and federal!!!! The Coast Guard and Reserves saved lives. Volunteers in boats and people commandeered busses to save lives. That's who helped..THE greatest country in the world, leaving it's people to die. There are no excuses...Ships could have been prepositioned with supplies. Black eye on Bush, the buck stops with him. He took responsibility finally. My heart still aches.
Just some info for some New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in North America established by the French before the United States even existed, the whole freaking city is a historical and cultural site, it is also the top tourist site in Louisiana which brings in a large portion of Louisiana economic revenue, so before you say why rebuild take away one of your states most important historical sites and one of your most important economic activities and see how you would hold up. For some states it wouldn't be a big deal cause you have a lot but for Louisiana one of the poorest states it is very important.
That really sad 😭😭😭
Centrist Shenanigans, you aren't any better. KARMA will come for you. Quit making fun of other people.
It was
Your name is Katrina-
I was born and raised in NO. I was 10 when Betsy struck in '65 and 13 when Camille hit in '69. I left NO in '73 never to return. How anyone that went through Katrina would want to stay and rebuild, when, another hurricane will strike and devastate NO, is baffling.
Same reason the levie broke. Same people stayed an Same people that blame muh racism. Instead of themselfs
Watching this in the 14th year anniversary of Katrina. Still sad.
Some of that mess got cleaned up . Looks good New Orleans .
God bless all you sweet women and the ppl who rallied
God bless that woman
I used to think that the government loves its people, at least what I was taught. Now I know we aren’t nothing but pedestrians to them, they don’t care if we die or become homeless.
The don't bleep the word ass but they bleep the word GOD?
that is not true, Jesus is the truth. If God wasnt real I would have been dead before age 12
Putting you on the prayer list
lol @james carter. word.
James Carter God dam we also tired of the cry babies but yet we listen to them
Mike Zeedan Funny, when I turned 12 I stopped believing in fairytales.
We spent over a month there, and man it was awful. I had only been a rescue swimmer for over a month at a new Squadron when this happened. Felt so bad for the Families, they legit lost everything.
Anyone watching right before hurricane laura just me oh
me 👀
Same
I lived in Louisiana when Katrina happened now I live in Texas and we’re about to get hit by Laura. I can’t seem to get away from these hurricanes lmao
Meeeee and i hate it
Abby Stubbs I hope your alright after the Laura Hurricane. I was praying for everyone.
I was there. It was horrendous.
I love you
I love and dream to go back to New Orleans
Today 19 years Ago I lost Everything including the shirt off my back. We had to go through decontamination from toxic water full of dead humans, dogs rotten food, oil.The smell oh my God. It was 100% humidity and over 100 degrees. Then they called us REFUGEES. AT THAT MOMENT I NEW WHAT MY GOVERNMENT THOUGHT OF OUR LIVES. I'm never going back.
I’m so sorry
It’s disappointing how the government cannot save its own people but regular citizens can.
5 days to leave some humans stranded is cruel and unusual punishment some one should have been held accountable
Ronald Reagan’s great quote, “I’m from the Government, and here to help”.
That’s yal republican ain’t it 😂😂😂
I lived here for 11 years I was born in hot springs Arkansas nut New Orleans is my home always and it breaks my heart rest in peace all the people who lost their lives
Lake view got some of the most snobbish people I ever met in my life,
true story. IDk who's worse though, them or Old Metairie.
Doesn't New Orleans have a reputation for being one of the top ten most corrupt cities in the USA? If that is the case, it is one of the most corrupt cities in all of the major, advanced, modern, industrialized countries of the world. They build dams and levees that will not protect them from flooding in a hurricane. That for a city founded on a flood plain? You can thank the British. In the 1700s one of three major forced migrations in US history took place. British forces made the French in Acadia in the NE move to Louisiana to the site of present day New Orleans. Those who say what happened that long ago has nothing to do with what happens in the present. As you can see historical chains of cause and effect have much to do with the present. The Brits did not cause corruption there. They did not cause the gross negligence that led to so many deaths. However, British actions in the 1700s did have to do with who is there now, and why they were there, and who died. When it comes to history, you must always consider multiple causation.
Sounds like you need a different view on life then.
@@johnshaw8228 the heck...the British made the Cajuns get out of Nova Scotia
But it was the Cajuns choice to come to Louisiana
And those who did come here
Didn't go into New Orleans, which was French
They went into to rural swamp areas
@@johnshaw8228 I guess blame the brits for. Not knowing the weather get a brain and come back to me when you got it
While bush definitely bungled the response the mayor and governor don't get nearly enough blame. Nagan in particular essentially turned down every offer of help he got and then went around yelling at people to fix the problem for him (and then reusing to let them do anything, repeating the cycle).
Nagan also knew 72 hours before it hit that nola would get rammed and declared mandatory evacuation 24 hours before also knew 15% of people who live there couldn’t drive
@@drakegreaud558tbh that 15% is all on them not the govorments. Personal responsibility
AND YET...CEDRIC RICHMOND KEEPS GETTING ELECTED ...WHY?
I was trapped in the super dome with my family and people was getting rapped cause they let inmates out
Omg 😳
Is that even true? I don’t think people would be getting rapped in a huge crowd also huge stereotypes alert? Every inmate in anywhere is a raper? I guess so then
Not all of them thankfully. Wasn't there a jail that the guards kept locked up an shot any runners like a jail is supposed to do
St John 3:16! 💓
JESUS is coming again SOON! ALLELUIA!
This world is shutting down. JESUS is coming sooner now than when we first believed!
I'm a man of faith . But that has been said over history countless times. Only God knows when he's sending his son
He is coming very soon. Wow
How can you decipher "equal opportunity storm" from only its outcomes? Obviously the more money/resources you have, the better you'll fare.
It is believed that they used to "blow the levee" on purpose to flood the 9th Ward and St. Bernard in order to save their cash cow....The City (French Quarter, CBD)
Would like to know if it was true that certain parts of the laves were blasted.
D. Day no
No, Katrina wasn’t a government conspiracy
Yes and no. Way back then a levee was destroyed to save the “rich area” and drown the”poor” area
Way back in the 20th centuaru
Century
Well, when you live in a city that is located below sea level, residents should anticipate the worst case scenario in the event of a hurricane.
Wilbur Snaffel .
Like Mumbai City (India)
Wilbur Snaffel Now that is true & also when u are told to evacuate u shouldn’t question or even try to weather the storm YOU leave but even after all that these people just didn’t deserve this and should have been better taken care in such a bad crisis!!!....
Thank you!
The point is not eveeryone has the privilege to just UP AND LEAVE. the black population of Louisiana was pretty much completely abandoned byt he govt. The rich area Egh French qtr were quickly fixed and up for business while the poorest most vulnerable pople (mostly black) were left homeless and to die....that's the reality of what happned
MrEvldreamr the privilege of leaving...you mean they needed a pass or license to leave?
Where the f did the money we all donated go? Not just insurance payouts and government billions, but all of us out here in the U.S. donated billions to help. A lot of us cut back as much as we could in our personal lives so we could send money to charities to help!
Bush blamed the fema director for not giving 2500 seriously that’s worth nothing
The Jews got it.
If Hurricane Katrina happened today. The US Govt would give 700 Million to Israel and 600 million to Ukraine 😂
Man I’m
Back here today because of yet another stronger record breaking hurricane about to hit the same place again and everything still ain’t fixed from years ago this is crazy and I feel so emotional right now man 😩
I don't understand why those people didn't get the help they needed.F***in ridiculous!
I think the banks are reluctant to loan money to rebuild in the 9th ward , because the area is too vulnerable to hurricane and flood damage . Thanks 9th ward should become an open space wetland .
Interview the black people
They have.
Also this dude saying that the hurricane was racist and picked black houses to flood. REAlLy ..
New Orleans is a few feet below sea level. Floods there are devastating.
Ray Nagin publically losing his s*** has always been iconic considering what happened with him after Katrina. We watched everything unfold from a small MS town on the eastern side of the storm and it just filled me with so much horror to hear that things had gotten so out of hand. I was a child and never wanted to come back. It's like we keep forgetting that this is an ever present threat.
😢😢😢I was just go in to middle school live in new Orleans i pray for the life that was lost
the 2nd video I have seen saying something about there only being 1 grocery store in lower ninth ward, not necessarily true, aren't they about 1 mile from the walmart supercenter in Chalmette? and another mile or so to a Winn Dixie there as well?......
I remember we own Buffet all you can eat. Busy everyday everybody hungray
Do you serve cats and dogs long time?...asking for a friend.
John Lain i peace service love ☝️
After Hurricane Katrina What Is New Orleans In 2019 & 2020
What do you expect when you build 12 feet below sea level? Plus the storm hit Mississippi worst towns like Waveland.
I can’t imagine how long it would take if they decided to raise the structure incase of another hurricane like this
It’s more a matter of money I believe
This was, in many ways, the “9/11” for African Americans.
The September 11 attacks themselves mostly killed wealthy white office workers in the towers, and in parallel, it was overwhelmingly Black people who lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina. And just as America’s institutionalised racism guaranteed, the federal response to Katrina was far worse than that of 9/11. The victims of the flash floods were falsely portrayed as looters and rioters (when the small amount of looting that was committed was out of sheer desperation for clean water and food), the recovery was far worse and far more unequal, and of course, there’s virtually no recognition of Katrina as being anything other than an “equal opportunities storm”.
Exactly. While 9/11 victims families received millions of dollars each literally, NOLA victims got $1,200 from FEMA and a week late bottle of water
I didn't even realize Katrina was a racist storm....wow
It was?
she's a wonderful woman. the government has some uses, but in catastrophes (and other things) it's a long haul if you're lucky to get anything. It might not be a bad idea that private funds for cities and towns are established supported by a very small recurring percentage of homeowner's mortgage payments. This may help fill in gaps in individual insurance policies.
Lol, that’s funny. Ray Nagin was almost entirely to blame for New Orleans being put into the position that it was, then he tried to blame Bush.
Just to think that this next hurricane season for 2023 is going to be catastrophic. I’m fretting for it but I’m also ready. Floridian born i don’t face away from no storm no matter how strong. But if 2022 had a “relapse” of 2004’s hurricane tracks then 2005’s tracks would be concrete evidence that systems just recycle after 2 decades and with warning climate and water surface being in the 80’s to 90’s any gulf hurricane will be absolutely deadly.
The Japanese went through a natural disaster far worse than Katrina. They reacted much better to the crisis than did the people of New Orleans. What do they know?
@Lilly S Well don't be a rude person about it you do know japan is a island less multi-cultured and populated, and the U.S had 282 million people in 2004
@Lilly S yes little girl that's what happened
Oh yeah let’s not forget what happened in 2004
Indian Ocean tsunami
The Japanese helped one another out. There was zero looting, for instance, and nobody sat around waiting for the government. Even the Yakuza, organized crime gangs, came in from all over the country to help out the civilians who lost everything.
Katrina brought trauma to LA and I will always remember the horrors I heard when I got older about Katrina.. all those people that died and weren’t helped 😔
N.O is becoming a cofferdam city in the gulf. Once an area is flooded should be designated a wildlife area or wetlands swamp
Me acuerdo de eso, fue horrible, vi las noticias desde mexico.
De que parte de Mexico es usted? Pero xyando todos los de New Orleans evacuaron a Texas , los crimenes subieron en todas Las ciudades aqui en Dallas,Houston,San Antonio y Austin. Pero mas en Houston porque llegaron mas ahi por k estan mas serca.
If you think your government is going to save you in case of disaster, you must not remember this
Wow. Nobody dancing now. Prayers for you all with the virus
Why spend billions rebuilding a city below sea level.
Jeepin John so whites can live there. Gentrification.
@@miamia6027 ok? Proof? It’s below sea level. Hahahahaha the Netherlands laugh at this
Not all of it is below sea level .
Common sense tells you don’t live below sea level. New Orleans is 9’to 13’ below sea level. The American Red Cross doesn’t have hurricane shelters in below sea level, Mayor Ray Nagan told the poor people to go to the dome. The people expected governments to feed and cloth. Mayor let school buses and regional transportation go under water,could have gotten people out. It all comes down to Democrat run cities, let the government pay for everything.
...you’d be surprised just HOWWWWW many folks in Nola have ZERO ‘common sense’...all talkin’ ‘bout ‘it’s my home’, this & that...GD...MY people left N.England/Scotland/N.Ireland hundreds of years ago, when it was no longer viable....MONTHS on horrible boats, in horrible conditions, to get to hinterlands of New England...me,30-odd years ago, when it was no longer a good place to be, went somewhere ELSE!!!
I was told the levies were blown up deliberately.
Yes.they were.and remember truth is sometimes stranger than fiction
I live in lakeview in 2020 its lookimg amazing now
In a way this reminds me of the 1900 flood in Galveston
Almost done with my first tour in the Navy I Almost reupped to help enforce Martial Law as a Military Police/Master at Arms so glad I chose to go home.
The levies broke spontaneously? Or... were broken purposely? Just as they had previously done.
Proof? Oh yeah you don’t have proof. You need to have other evidence other than it sounded really loud like a Big Bang when it broke.
This was a terrible crisis, but the worst crisis was the great depression, when people were catching rats from the streets to have sustenance.
Whosoever call upon the name of the LORD will be saved. Believe in Jesus Christ and you shall be saved
Now the home cost 200 thousand plus in low income areas
It took forever to get help, I was living in Biloxi Mississippi at ghe time I evaluated early we had people who was pushing for us to leave and I immediately left 😢😢, I miss the people in Gulfport and Biloxi (they talk about people who steal but they steal with a pen)
stop saying they are African Americans they have never been to Africa and they don't come from africa , that's a stupid label
Mayor Nagin should have been put on trial for not preparing his city for this disaster!
She sounds like a Karen at 3:55 ... but a rebel karen. With a purpose. Fighting the man. Maybe thats what they all need
How about dont build a city below sea level?? Dont spend billions to rebuild a city below sea level.
Jeepin how about you come on down here to the NOLA and say that out loud? Good luck.
Dude without that city you lose a huge amount of income
Also the French built this city before America even existed I fail to see any valid argument
I’m watching ida 2021 and it looks like it’s going to be as bad Katrina 🥺 I hope everyone can get to safely
In that part where he's stating but the homeowner and what color of the person was that's true also even if even in a situation like this is crazy I'm telling y'all it has some stuff went on here after hurricane Katrina and during the storm was even worse it wasn't even a hurricane itself it's stuff that you won't believe I rest my case 🙏
6:01 So the bank took money for payment on a home that no longer exists. Wow.
The debt doesn’t disappear because the collateral is gone. They’re two different things.
Hopefully the bank took the insurance proceeds and wrote off the rest of the loan as they failed to do their due diligence in ensuring the collateral was appropriately insured.
Ideally the insurance proceeds would have covered the rebuild costs and then she would have continued making payments as usual on the mortgage.
We ain't seen nothing yet. It should be titled "A tale of two Americas", cause when the going gets tough, the rich get going, and we will be left to defend ourselves.
It happened because some people refuse to properly care for themselves. Their situation was already precarious before Katrina and their first reaction afterward was to look for handouts. There are times when an adult does need help, but many of these people were children masquerading as adults.
Everyone talks about New Orleans getting flooded but nobody talks about Mississippi who got it worse, our whole coast got wiped out, New Orleans didn’t.🙄
Yeah and that didn’t even get hit by the eye the worst areas got like 1-2 stories in storm surge
