[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there ever a documentary about Katrina, that explained the levee system and what happened? As a northerner, I’m having a hard time understanding it.[/quote] Spike Lee, When the Levees Broke.[/quote] The book 5 Days at Memorial by Sheri Fink also discusses how systems from the levees and pumps broke down and the resulting impact. It focuses on the tragedy and horrible decision making at Memorial Hospital but does a thorough job of discussing the entire ecosystem of Katrina and it’s aftermath, as well as some of the preceding history. John McPhee’s book Control of Nature, published in the 90’s, also provides great insight into what it takes to keep New Orleans from being consumed by water generally.[/quote] 5 days at memorial is a rough book due to subject matter but well written and measured.[/quote]
