I don't understand this, maybe in the eyes of the law, but in the eyes of reality ??
And it was only a short spot on the news, that I wasn't initially paying close attention to so the details are limited. I'll search more later.
A high court has determined that the Army Corp of Engineers IS liable for all of the houses flooded during Huricane Katrina. This was just an initial court finding, so now it can be tried again for the thousands that lost their houses etc.
Now I'm not judging wether the Corp did everything right or not, maybe (probably) they could have done a better job.
BUT
You are living 30+ feet below sea level, at the shore !
It's not a matter of IF it will flood, but WHEN, no matter what the Corp does.
And yes I feel very bad for the people, that is not the point.
I don't get it.
