Description

Americans will long keep in mind that 2005 as the year Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast states, killing thousands and destroying the whole thing in its path. Lives were changed ceaselessly. Once the hurricane passed, the city of New Orleans faced much more danger. The citys protective levees broke, and the streets started to flood. What followed was once chaos. Thousands of people that had not evacuated before the hurricane now sought refuge on the Superdome and other emergency sites. They found these shelters without provisions, fortify, protection, or rescue as the countrys relief efforts floundered with uncertainty. Violence, looting, and general lawlessness followed as desperate city residents felt abandoned by their country. Find out what happened and why, how rescue efforts were in any case organized, and what the president promised for the city of New Orleans.
