Every level of government failed New Orleans.

This is just brutal. The fact that people lived in those conditions shows how desperate they were. This was such a horrible hurricane. I hope something like this never happens again. The government certainly could have done a much better job.

Its so sad to hear that people were raped during a disaster.

How disgusting that people were getting raped and molested during an already awful event.

15 years later.... New Orleans is still standing🙏🏽

This looks so surreal. Nature can be so brutal.

Prays and blessing to the people who might get effect by hurricane Isaias

This looks like a scene from a movie .... COMING SOON : Resident Evil return to New Orleans

I’m from New Orleans and in many ways we’re still recovering from Katrina.. I won’t even be able to watch this, this worst months of my life. I thank god I was able to get out of town when so many couldn’t afford to or just didn’t.

*LETS NOT FORGET THAT JOEL OLSTEEN REFUSED TO HELP* during hurricane Harvey. When people needed help the most he closed his doors.

Ugh 😩 this brings back so many memories for me... my mom and sister was in Mississippi and I was in Iceland and no way to reach them we couldn’t fly in even on a private flight no one was allowed to fly in NO or south Mississippi... it was the worst week of my life.. we lost a lot of good people and miss them everyday!!!

Inside edition will never run out of content.

Inside edition: let’s post hurricane stuff Me who lives in florida: -_-

The Lafon situation was especially tragic and maddening. A storm surge brought water temporarily to the facility, knocking out any generators they had. The water receded and they were then on dry ground. The heat was brutal then. People would try flagging down rescue personnel telling them about the elderly inside but they were rebuffed being told that the rescuers had to go to flooded areas. It was a number of days before any assistance finally arrived to get patients out - by then it was too late for many of them.

I feel sorry for the pregnant women that were full term having to stay at the dome

I really do feel bad for the elderly. Some were in wheel chairs and were basically anchored to the ground when the water was almost up to the ceiling

Props to the people who cleaned all this up

Imagine if the corna was around crazy

Really surprised they didn’t tear the Superdome down after this

It’s just so sad to know that even in those living conditions ppl were being raped and molested and I just feel bad. Then there we’re probably murders too. This just shows how wicked ppl can really be.

My mom told me stories of this hurricane and when I was younger, I never realized she actually lived there. Everything personal and important to her was ruined. I was just born and she was staying there for something (I can’t remember what) so I stayed back with my dad. She came home when all of this happened and she returned to gather what survived in the storm. There was absolutely nothing. Learning she was actually living/staying there at the time breaks my heart

Hurricanes bring out the worst in people like Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Harvey.

It really was messed up I lived in Texas after Katrina and a lot of people walked from New Orleans into Dallas county WALKED FOR DAYS

15 years later .. This was *DEEP*

Seriously what did that guy think he was going to find when he walked into the men's restroom?

I remember leaving before Katrina and joking with my friend named Katrina about the hurricane when all this happened. We was young and dumb and we never thought something like this would happen to New Orleans. It hurt so bad to see New Orleans looked like that. I don’t know why I looked at this video...

Lived in Baton Rouge at the time and just... remember seeing this so close to home. My brother in law was an MP. Me and my sister went to go see him like a week after this disaster. We pulled off on the wrong street. And just remembering that smell and looking over to the side seeing this guy in a blue jogging suit face down in a huge puddle rotting there. Easily one of the things Ill never forget.

Being in the middle of this, I can assure it was absolutely horrific

I was learning about hurricane Katrina and it was a lot worse than it seems

who ever is reading this have a blessed day

Yep, government failed us once again with covid-19 response in 2020.

*Me waiting for the Six Flags at New Orleans aftermath:* 👁👄👁

Its disgusting and heartbreaking what happened to all of these people 💔😭

This makes me remember how unbelievable it was that this situation of stranded people just went on for day after day, and it was being reported constantly on the news.

That nursing home looks like a walking dead hospital

My home town I remember this all the panic and lose. And it is outrageous on how long it took for them to respond! Lives where lost and action wasn't taking fast enough! This bring so many memories!:'(

Those were the poorest of the new Orleanians. Everybody else got out, but getting out was incredibly hard. It was just bad all around.

Everyone: 1 hurricane? 2020 bad New Orleans, 2005: 😐

Weird thing is...the cities close by New Orleans, Kenner and Metairie, which is about 20 minutes away from New Orleans, depending on where you live, weren't badly affected.

I will always remember hurricane katrina. I was 18 years old and moved on college campus September 1st so it will always be etched in my memory

I remember going through a deep, dark sadness for the people after Hurricane Katrina. I don’t have any family there but it was so bad! I will never visit New Orleans. The coverage of the man dead in his wheelchair outside of the SuperDome just devastating..😢

When people ask why i cry during hurricane warnings, Its bc I'm scared for my life.

Man this was a horrible time not just New Orleans was destroyed I’m in Mobile and it was pure hell

Whoo! This is what the apocalypse looks like weird

I’ve never been so early to an Inside Edition video 😂

I just cant believe Superdome was back to hosting Saints game a year or so later

America failed New Orleans, and I’ll never forget it.

I was 15 when this happened and entirely unaware of how poorly our "developed country" handled this travesty. It didn't need to be so bad.

The response to this situation was criminal.

So heartbreaking. Rest in peace for those who died 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Omg I remember them days. I didn't go to the Superdome but I was on my roof for 3 days

Didn’t this happen when Vine was around like 5 years ago?

I remember entering the Dome for the first time in 2016, thinking about the people who were there trying to survive. Every time I go for a concert, etc I think of that. *Sigh

What did he expect it to smell like and there was no running water

Where was George W. Bush when this awful event happened?

I was there with the Colorado national guard. The aftermath was like a zombie movie

The whole country is gunna EXPERIENCE what the people of Hurricane Katrina experienced. Helplessness.

But you’ve already uploaded this.

My Sisters name is Katrina and at the time she worked in customer service and people refused to let her serve them because they thought she was evil and bad just because of her name

3:09 imagine being stuck in there with the smell

This is incredibly devastating. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Those poor, innocent souls.

I talked to a guy who stayed at the Super Dome and he said people were committing crimes in there. He said people were robbed and raped.

3:20 If he couldn’t take 10 seconds of the smell, imagine someone spending Several days of that stench, I can’t even imagine what the people had to go through. 😢

2:06 that was so heartbreaking

5:45 the fact that the Purge Fluid is still there

Man oh Man to think that this happened 15 years ago just feels so surreal

Not sure why I just saw this....I lived through Katrina....evacuated, but it took me 14 hrs to drive 3 hrs away. No electricity where I was for a week, no cell phone for 2 weeks. I am still traumatized.....

Imagine the pain they felt while going through that

The left toys - so heratbreaking

This was nothing compared to what the Mississippi Coast dealt with Katrina!!

And no one went to prison for any of it.

I knew a woman who survived Katrina. The media only showed New Orleans aftermath to a certain point. The ghastly sights and smells and pure terror were not shown to the public. Folks, it was way worse than what we saw on tv playing out. Bodies in the streets decomposing, snakes and gators lurking in the water all around people, sewage and human waste everywhere, it was a real nightmare playing out in front of everyone there.

When the light goes through the crack of the roof in the superdome it is almost like god is taking me to heaven omg 😳😳😳😳😨

Mexicans cleaned this Sir.I lived in tyler texas at that time.i worked taking everything out of homes dead pets i seen it all.God bless..Broooo

On Sept 11th, rescuers risked their lives to go down into 50ft of hot rubble to pull out 2 cops in a matter of hours. It took almost a week to get people above ground trapped in water. You tell me what’s wrong with this comparison.

This was so sad and so heartbreaking to watch it brought bad so many memories I am a hurricane Katrina survivor and all which is seen was no joke

When i look at the stadium and the city kinda looks like a zombie apocalypse

I was 5 when this happened so sad 💯

Let's pray that thus never happens again. May the souls of those who died rest in peace.

How awful! I wonder how long it took to clean this all up!

You know it’s serious when inside edition posts a video thats +5 minutes long

Is that camera quality from the 2000’ lmao😂

I remember Hurricane Katrina and it was the worst Hurricane disaster that I ever seen. I was watching on a small T.V. and the news pop up on Hurricane Katrina and showing the disaster so much. I was only 7 years old at the time. I don't live in New Orleans, I'm living in Illinois. I wonder what happened to all those buildings in New Orleans? I'm only 26 years old and still remembered this national hurricane disaster as of today.

Watching this after Hurricane Ida just left. Prayers for those who were in it

This dude is literally touching everything and has mask, and putting it back on his face, I can’t

Still no reason to rape people and trash it like they did. I live in New Orleans now and can’t wait to get outta here this year and head back to the east coast where I was born and raised. The whole state is corrupt and their government could care less about their people. I pity the people from southern Louisiana if this ever happens again.

I was stuck in the Superdome for 7 days then.... It was Harsh Times... to say the least. RIP To all those that did Not make it.

Don’t forget about the prisoners. There was a prison where staff literally left the inmates by themselves for a few days. That was a nightmare….

Me n my family survive this but its was horrible

I wish these things were preventable

Title should read "what the super dome was like after katrina" this aint about New Orleans

I live here in New Orleans n it wouldn’t have flooded like that had they not blown up the levees that hold lake back. We heard the blast then all the water came rushing in

Is it me or it’s my first time early in inside edition

everybody watching this video i pray for you and hope for everybody to have an amazing year

Thanks for telling us.

MS & areas south of New Orleans farther down the river closer to the mouth got worse

16 years to the day😢 Hurricane Ida

Here because of Ida. Best of luck, New Orleans.

Amazing coverage... Too bad we didn't have more integral reporting like this on the National Level...
