We're starting to learn a lot about why the levees in New Orleans failed. Betsy's Page And the picture is not pretty. <<< A team of engineers investigating the failure of New Orleans-area levees yesterday said power struggles among local boards and factions created a "public hazard" and that "malfeasance" may be to blame for catastrophic flooding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Raymond Seed, team leader from the National Science Foundation, told a Senate panel that the team is still investigating "very disturbing reports of malfeasance" and that some sections of the levees were not constructed as designed. "We're seeing evidence in the field that some of those stories might bear fruit," Mr. Seed said during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. A lack of coordination among groups participating in the New Orleans Flood Defense System (NOFDS) led to differing heights of levees, inferior materials and may have prevented access to some of the breaches, said the preliminary report by the team comprised of the National Science Foundation and American Society of Civil Engineers. >>> betsyspage.blogspot.com washtimes.com
