i hope that girl who thought she was gonna die is ok

Watching old footage of katrina will make you hate the government

Home Insurance company’s should be put on trial

This breaks my heart.

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.

0:36 "this man jumped to his death cause he just couldn't take it anymore" kid sits on edge

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 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.

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.

Walmart: Starts helping immediately U.S. Government : A whole 5 years late to the party

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 lost my home to the flood.i cried like a baby

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.

The government knew what they were doing, getter rid of the lower ninth ward where they claim most of the violence came from

New Orleans is my town I grew up in

So many people were done wrong

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.

I bet there were alligators in them waters.....wouldn't catch me anywhere near alligator lands

That really sad 😭😭😭

GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE THAT DID THEIR PART. WHAT GOD WANT US TO DO AND BE!👍👍👍🙂🙂

I'm Katrina survivor

I will never forget this. I Balled my eyes out😔😔

I hated that happen to New Orleans it's very sad god bless the ones they loss

It was heart breaking when the senior citizens drowned at the nursing home. The administrator and all other staff should be ashamed of themselves.

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.

God bless that woman

The scariest part is that it's was only the beginning of these type of hurricanes

I was there. It was horrendous.

Interview the black people

Ray Nagin had a lot of nerve he was the mayor he let those buses sit there he should have gotten those people out.

The don't bleep the word ass but they bleep the word GOD?

They need to make a law all houses and businesses need to have inflatable boats and life jackets.

The most unique and cultured city in the US. They deserve their home.

I love and dream to go back to New Orleans

Anyone watching right before hurricane laura just me oh

I was trapped in the super dome with my family and people was getting rapped cause they let inmates out

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

Watching this in the 14th year anniversary of Katrina. Still sad.

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!

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.

God bless all you sweet women and the ppl who rallied

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).

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.

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.

God bless you

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 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

How can you decipher "equal opportunity storm" from only its outcomes? Obviously the more money/resources you have, the better you'll fare.

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.

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.

I didn't even realize Katrina was a racist storm....wow

😢😢😢I was just go in to middle school live in new Orleans i pray for the life that was lost

AND YET...CEDRIC RICHMOND KEEPS GETTING ELECTED ...WHY?

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!

After Hurricane Katrina What Is New Orleans In 2019 & 2020

Outrageous

Lake view got some of the most snobbish people I ever met in my life,

I live in lakeview in 2020 its lookimg amazing now

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 don't understand why those people didn't get the help they needed.F***in ridiculous!

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.

I’m watching ida 2021 and it looks like it’s going to be as bad Katrina 🥺 I hope everyone can get to safely

I remember we own Buffet all you can eat. Busy everyday everybody hungray

Watching this on my phone while watching News Coverage for Hurricane Laura😔

New Orleans is a few feet below sea level. Floods there are devastating.

In a way this reminds me of the 1900 flood in Galveston

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.

Wow. Nobody dancing now. Prayers for you all with the virus

Me acuerdo de eso, fue horrible, vi las noticias desde mexico.

Wow wow 😳

Would like to know if it was true that certain parts of the laves were blasted.

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”.

That's soo 😥

5 days to leave some humans stranded is cruel and unusual punishment some one should have been held accountable

You should have been here after Katrina at night time you better make sure you've been inside for a certain time tonight the devil was here himself

She sounds like a Karen at 3:55 ... but a rebel karen. With a purpose. Fighting the man. Maybe thats what they all need

What do you expect when you build 12 feet below sea level? Plus the storm hit Mississippi worst towns like Waveland.

The levies broke spontaneously? Or... were broken purposely? Just as they had previously done.

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 🙏

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.

Word

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.

N.O is becoming a cofferdam city in the gulf. Once an area is flooded should be designated a wildlife area or wetlands swamp

Also this dude saying that the hurricane was racist and picked black houses to flood. REAlLy ..

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)

I can’t imagine how long it would take if they decided to raise the structure incase of another hurricane like this

GUYS IS HAPPENING EXACTLY THE SAME IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL ( my state in BRAZIL!!) HELP PLEASE!!!!! PRAY FOR MY STATE!!! 🙏🙏🙏

2021 ... during huricane Ida... before it hits cat 4 again in lousiana

History does not repeat.

Why spend billions rebuilding a city below sea level.

Waiting for Cristobal looking to stay or leave but I dont know where to go to be safe probably Newton tx but I don't know if floods there Pray for my family.

If your city looks uphill to the ocean, it's gonna flood. Don't buy there: don't build there. Don't get stuck on stupid.

New Orleans is still the big easy, just more heavily infested with trasnplants.

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.

Now the home cost 200 thousand plus in low income areas

Wow I agree with him

I was told the levies were blown up deliberately.

Such a sad memory

Damn...

If you think your government is going to save you in case of disaster, you must not remember this
