I remember this, a lot of money was stolen, a lot of discrimination, and a lot of people were relocated, can't even go back because they didn't own houses, they were poor, renting, housing assistance, etc.
Perlita Habanera Actually the lower 9th Ward had the highest rate of home ownership by African Americans in the country before Katrina
100th like
This is yo u need yo own fool insurance then u wouldn't have this problem.we survive Katrina and rebuilt with no problem cause we had State Farm flood insurance.
You shined a light , public housing couldn't go back
Try traveling to the surrounding states at the time for work. Not a hotel without people who were displaced everywhere. Met some cool hotel neighbors, but there were tons of questionable ones the cool neighbors were weary of.
Working in Chalmette even almost 15 years later it still has traces of wasteland.
The worst 3 years of my life. It took that long before I knew my hometown would survive.
Did everyone get to get back to their daily lives? I bet it was so hard any disaster is.
I could not imagine what all those poor people had to go through. Was in Colorado at that time.
I'M SORRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@manjr.6959 nah don’t even say that bro, yk why this happened, cause the LA government is messed up and let this happen.
@@MegaBenjamin i dont even remeber replying that and my opinion has changed
I remember watching the news reports on this at work. I worked in a nursing home at the time, and most of the residents were watching the news of it on their TVs. I remember one elderly lady looking at the footage with tears in her eyes and she turned to me and asked "What's anybody going to do?" I think that she meant the people affected by the disaster, as well as what the government was going to do.
When I visited in October 2018,you could still see various areas that half recovered. It hurt my heart.
There are still condemned houses that are too radioactive to enter or tear down
The levy walls were not built correctly or tall enough and even after Katrina they still went cheap with the levy walls. Multiple engineers have said it’s still at the very least 10 ft to short and some say it needs another 20 ft
Actually the levy walls were only strong enough to hold water form a category 3 hurricane, the state didn’t want to fund for category 5 protection because they never thought it would happen
@@calebmuth5916 Katrina wasnt a Cat 5 when it made landfall it was a Cat 3
its almost like USA infrastructure is criminally under funded
...p/s, it’s “levee”...:)
Katrina was a cat 5
Came here from Hurricane Ida. It's terrifying how Katrina and Ida share so many similarities. I pray that everyone stays safe. 🙏🏻❤
I don't follow national news, is there another hurricane happening? The last one I remember hitting us here in Tx was a few years ago and it sucked. It flooded my buddy's whole neighborhood.
When UK Top Gear went across the south from Miami FL to New Orleans LA, presenter Jeremy Clarkson voiced his own shock at the sheer devastation of the streets, a full year after Katrina:
"... How can the rest of America sleep at night knowing that this is here?"
The result was that the 3 presenters (Richard Hammond and James May along with Jeremy Clarkson) decided to abandon their original plan for the end of their roadtrip, selling their sub $1000 cars before flying back to the UK and instead gave their cars away to families who lost their's to Katrina
It took the UK until the 1980s to finish repairing the bomb damage from WW2.
Which episode was that? How can watch it?
I remember watching this from TX. One of my friends went through this while living in New Orleans
This whole thing was a mess. I evacuated with my friends family at the last minutw thinking id be home in a few days. I was 18 and literally got in a fight with my roommate the weekend of Katrina and grabbed my stuff out of the house.
Did you every go back?
@@Illisil yep. I was back in new orleans that October. It was weird being back right after. On the interstate the city smelled like rot and mold . it was weird seeing the giard in humvees and machine gun mounted trucks patrolling. The Military Police were the worst. They were stopping everybody and searching them and stuff then calling nopd to make the actual arrest
Yes, in hindsight Blanco did much AFTER the the people were finally out, but she completely FAILED helping the people immediately after the storm.
Yea u cant blame her tho..nobody knew wtf to do
She shouldv'e done more
I had a classmate in high school who had moved with his family just weeks before the disaster. He had family still in the region and we all were worried and wanted to be kept updated.
Bush administration leftovers: Hurricane Katrina and the housing crisis. Even now it has been said this country never truly recovered.
Don't forget the mess he left in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I've had the same impression more than once. I feel that the economy never truly recovered, home prices are not as high as they were back in 2004, they do not sell as quickly as they did back then either, also the jobs do not pay what they paid back then.
Thanks for your honesty Shaun!! Never forget guys!!

I love the retro reports. They are so unbiased and tell both sides of the story where I empathize with the "bad guy". Amazing job on all of these. Love to see it.
I lost so many memories in New Orleans lost many friends still don't know if they dead r alive😭😭😭😭
just remember just because the hurricane is over does't mean its ok
I love this series.
the storm just exposes horrible financial situations of the victims before the storm
You'd think a regulatory commission would be put in place to manage and track every dime spent.
In a perfect world I suppose...
Oh you,re right
I live in Central Louisiana (Rapides Parish) and we were hit hard but a lot of people forget that a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit another strong Hurricane(Hurricane Rita) trampled Louisiana and that's when it really took its toll on our state but no matter what I'm a proud southern girl from The Boot!! We've bounced back and we're better than before!!!!!
That was super scary
I'm so fortunate that I live in a state that doesn't receive harsh weather (Maryland) because Imagine getting hit by a natural disaster then rebuilding to receive another
Well, good for you. Oh by the way, could you please take Sleepy Joe back?
@Bo Didley He’s from *Delaware,* _not_ Maryland. You’re the one who’s dosing off
I was there.
maryland gets tons of hurricanes and snow everyear
@@Augfordpdoggie not as harsh weather's we get everything but not a dominant storm state
Why would you rebuild at the beach when flooding was the main issue?
5:27 aye I live in Lakeview
Never rely on the government stock up on weapons water food and ammo also beer and dip the minute a nation depends on government the minute it can collapse
Move to Canada and quit living on the edge 😂
Why am I watching this when I left N.O. precisely so that I wouldn't have to live through this debacle? Wouldn't it have been funny if Blanco had hired Halliburton to manage The Road Home, and they had done a great job?
you can only wonder why someone would leave a large barge in the wake of a storm in the industrial canal facing the lower 9th ward.
It was a decoy
They need be sued again that’s ridiculous like people are still without it been 12 years…
It's really hard to see how much the government failed these people. Neighborhoods in nola are still in need of help. I hope this goes to show as a lesson on how we can better prepare for these events. Many people had to leave the state. Many couldn't and had to suffer for months.
My parents remembered that storm when they were watching the Weather Channel.
They ended up losing power but with little rainfall
When I went down there to see my grand grand we saw the place that was hit it wasnt rebuilt when I went I'm not sure if it is now and it was very sad we saw many x on houses
Gee, find higher ground, and rebuild there.
@@garyonthetuber its flat man thats kind of hard you know
how about giving that money to the people and let them fix their own lives.
Absolutely. Let Me hire someone and get the work done. I need to live, too...
Watching this as Ida Pounds Louisiana right now
Same
I was in Kathmandu
And it still sucks down there
And only a short time later... Rita comes in to finish it off.
Fo real
Yet they still didn’t sandy right. I’m in New Jersey and I know lots of people the felt it’s failed them.
😢😢😢 So Sad 😢
On early monday morning
thankyoubushforeverandmoregodbless
5:27 smh
This is in no way disrespect and we too have our own issues, however this is why I choose not to live on any coast line.... Colorado makes me very happy
does colorado have any disasters?
@mario Only if you consider inhaling second-hand ganja smoke a “disaster”
"You know what, I just won't do walls" 😭
When they said they procured the assistance of a private company to distribute the housing relocations and redevelopments, I knew it was going to be a mess.
"Brownee, you're doing a heck of a job."
That statement did a lot of damage to Bush's credibility. He was misinformed.
@@asafaust8869 Bosh and brown. Brown has a hurricane Katrina documentary on RUclips where he’s basically crying about how his life was ruined after the storm
Kind of weird that in my life (born in 2003), with all the technology we have, a disastor happened that detroyed an entire American city.
When money is involved there is going to be screw ups because whomever is in charge of the money would try to give less to the people that need it.
That money was put into interest bearing over night accounts . That interest is then profit for the investor . The longer that you wait the more they can take ! The government has two sets of books one that shows the public debt . The other shows the profits made . That report is called the CAFR report . the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report .
Wow like they hadn’t been through enough.. Jesus Murphy.
How depressing. WTF is ICF doing?
The city was never rebuilt. I was just there last year. I went to school in New Orleans from 1999 to 2003 also.
𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧𝐭?
NO is under sea level! They should plant grassland not houses
💯💯💯
You can still see the damage of the hurricane that hasn’t been fixed.
fema, means forget,everyone, metropolitan, area.
Fema means f*** everyone member america
How owns that "company"
...@3:04, Gov.Babineau-Blanco...’this is going to be the most honest program we’ve ever had’..!! Ha Ha Ha Ha freaking HA....ain’t never BEEN nothing ‘honest’ about Louisiana, EVER, especially nothing political!!! Ffs!!
RIP Blanco, as a lifelong resident of the gulf coast, I remember Blanco doing what she could under the horrible circumstances, most especially that of the rampant political corruption in not only all of Louisiana but also city hall in New Orleans. Mayor Naegan may very well go down as one of the worst mayors in not only the history of New Orleans (which he most certainly already has that title) to one of the worst in the history of this country. He’s everything and more you don’t want in a leader especially a leader you absolutely need in times of crisis and disaster. He didn’t step up to plate, he wasn’t even in the stadium when his name was called. America has elected more than it’s fair share of clowns to becoming mayor of many great cities across this nation, especially since Katrina in 2005, but I still don’t think anyone, other than perhaps Lightfoot of Chicago, being a biggest disaster than Naegan was.
i was born that day
Fortunately, the wealthy were able to get contractors to rebuild while they relocated to their waterfront property in Hawai'i. They were also forced to spend more time skiing than usual at their condo in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
We all know the truth of what happened to the levees
💣
@@BROOK69BANKS

I called people and asked why no one was helping them.
It’s like what happened in 2017 with the hurricanes
No it’s not even close to the same.
What Took PLACE ?
I was born 3 months after this Hurricane
NOLA native. Can’t think of any other event where the local, state, and federal govt failed horrendously.
Giving people a loan in a town where many parts were never recovered is not much of a help, is it?
rip six flags
Es ist einfach nur sehr traurig. Es fehlen einem die Worte, das dies überhaupt möglich ist, das die Menschheit sich immernoch nicht fair und zeitnah, wenn es nötig ist, organisieren kann.....das es immer wieder Menschen gibt, die aus einer Notsituation Profit machen müssen, das einfach alles, sogar Leid, zu Geld gemacht wird. Was soll das!!! Für was? Für was ist sowas gut? !! .
That’s a bad tragedy
I think people who tried to rebuild should have been rewarded, not seemingly punished.
this is IDIOTIC, if you are a homeowner in an affected area you should get 150-200 grand DIRECTLY as a deposit. Bureaucracy is the worst
It shouldn’t matter how much clout someone has in Washington. Everyone should be treated the same. Every black person should be given the same amount of money as the white ones. The ninth ward should look as good as the other parts of New Orleans. But just like the rest of America people of color are treated differently and it’s a shame and disgrace. In America…a place of dreams. Dreams for some not for all.
This lady! Wtf!
where is the yt video named "hurricane katrina a human mistake" with linkin park song in it?
Alot of the hurricane people were put to live in the old Levi's company in San Antonio Texas and were given 5000 grand by what one of the people nearby told me. Levi's company shut down right before the hurricane, so where is the 4.5 billion dollars. N I'm a resident of San Antonio Texas.
Unreal & Still Revelant 2022
WRONG ACTIONS.
Groetjes vanuit Nederland. Ook Delta toch?
Delta is een heel andere situatie qua politiek. In Nederland is het heel goed uitgevoerd sinds de grote overstroming in de jaren 50.
The road home sounds like a terrible program if your house was worth 500k then you only get 150k but if your house was only 60k the you just got an extra 90k
That's not how it works.
They don't mention that people don't know how to handle large sums of money and crooked contractors
Everyone wishes hurricanes were extinct. "We want independence! We don't want any more hurricanes!" exclaimed the throng in the protest.
Is this what Art was saying in his podcast radio show? How the inter dimensional peeps are wiping us out?
هدیغ من برای شما دوستان گرامی.
New York reporting on New Orleans is like a piece of gum trying to chew a mouth….
So this is what that Led Zepplin song was about?
In two sentences back to back she said she had absolutely NO IDEA WHAT TO DO when the levies broke then said she made the government do what she wanted them to do her way 😂 you just said you were CLUELESS, which is why you had to get everyone else to clean up the mess you had no idea how to tackle yourself 😂 you contradict yourself that fast you may get called out 😂
I lost my 6,000 square foot house that I bought from winning the powerball lottery that I bought a year before Katrina. Terrible year for me. I lost EVERYTHING.
Is this some sort of weird joke or are you just completely out of touch?
@@bushmg1061 definitely fake
Hurricane Katrina began its existence a day after the first anniversary of the Disney Channel original series BRANDY & MR. WHISKERS. The cartoon took place in the same biome as TARZAN.
Chalmette
what,..
Ediza Egay lol love how this stupid comment is immortalized 5 years later. stupid then, stupid now, will be just as stupid 5 years from now! ha!
Just dont make no sense how u live in a city that dont care nothing about the people just there the the money
Sean had some pretty dilated pupils.
more like hurricane tortilla
Yea rite
Tyrone Jackson what do you mean?
@@-star_27-20 He thinks it was a 'False Flag' operation. He's from the 'everything on TV is fake, I'll believe everything on the internet' crowd.
My sisters name is katrina 😢
Wow this is so sad,D A N.k
In fairness to Governor Blanco, New Orleans - especially the lower 9th ward - was a complete shthole to begin with.
#PrayForThePhilippines its insane
Where's the videos of the red cross selling toilet paper and water bottles.
I know, where was superman?
