Jul 7, 2008 - A very moving presentation with some excellent data. I was in New Orleans last weekend, and I was amazed at how bad conditions still are outside of the downtown core. 530 days after Katrina, I saw entire neighborhoods in St. Bernard Parish that are still condemned, homelessness, and many other problems. I made a short video of what I saw from the train, and I hope others like us will keep covering the rebuilding, since the mainstream media isn't.

Jul 7, 2008 - Great video. I was a volunteer with a SAR group that responded with the USS Tortuga a week after the storm. The people in St Bernards are wonderful. I believe with their spirit, they will recover. I am sorry that is such a long road back for many of them.

Jul 7, 2008 - Sad part is, this was the first salvo in Mother Nature destroying all of SE Louisiana. It wont stop. Ever since us people thought the mighty miss could be coralled and leveed up, it all but sealed SE LA's fate.. and it will be destroyed. It was good to see The Times Picayune finally having a special edition done concerning the receding coastline. In any case, IMHO, Eastern N.O. and St bernard should be abandoned as they will only get more vunerable from future storms.

Jul 7, 2008 - Excellent video! I just returned from St. Bernard (was there April 3-8 2007) and although maybe a few more businesses are open, it's still pretty much as you described. It's simply obscene how this part of our country is ignored. Thank you for your good work and for getting the word out!

Jul 7, 2008 - I lived in "da parish" before and i wouldn't want to live n e where else. Today (April 19, 2007) we're doing a little better. we have 3 grocry stores a walgreens multiple restraunts and all bank branches are open. The people who are dertermined to come back already have and most have there house completed or near there. Were working on it... St. BErnard will be back and better than ever!

chrisdier Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - we can prevent things like this from happening again with proper levee systems and better planning. we should not have to abandon anything

Jul 7, 2008 - anderson cooper FROM CNN IS A SELLOUT!! Did you see his latest report about New Orleans? He didn't talk about the slow recovery & real issues. He talked about broken fema trailors being sold on auction websites,he didn't mention the school system or the slow recovery.These kids in New Orleans are getting messed over by our government officials and fake ass anderson cooper doesn't really care. He said he was "keeping them honest" but he's all talk. copy and paste this msg EVERYWHERE

Jul 7, 2008 - I just got back from St. Bernard Parish yesterday....There's still so much that need to be done.

viragemasta Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I saw Spike Lee's doc/movie on Katrina yesterday on Belgian (EU) national TV. We were watching and it suddenly became very quiet. Man... we never realized it was that bad, people waiting days for a meal, drinking water, busses, FEMA, the army (so very quickly deployable on many other occasions), national guard.

viragemasta Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Why did it take days to classify this disaster as a 'disaster'?!There is something wrong with America. These are the paramaters to judge prosperity and wealth by. Not the strenght of an army or dow jones. The white house sure have their priorities mixed up. There is something wrong.all our sympathy for the victims and those still being hit by the aftermath of Katrina,viragemastaBelgium

Jul 7, 2008 - Thank you. This video was well done. I'm home now but I'll never forget, and I don't want to. I don't dwell on it, but I never want to forget. It makes me realize every day what is important.
