Okay I had heard and read several pieces of rumor from people blew the levee to escape, demolition explosions, yadda yadda yadda.

Bottom line is that levee wasn't supposed to break.

One reporter showed how powerful and high the storm surge was. He stood next to the almost 20ft level of the height of the storm surge, but that was SEVEN FUCKING MILES inland! Can you imagine a wall of water 20ft high rolling 7 miles inland???

Sheesh, it just boggles the mind!

With that much force, who knows what objects crashed into that levee. We'll find out for sure.
