what NASA engineer designed a city to be BELOW sea level? - GoFuckYourself.com

johnnyhey · 08-31-2005, 01:38 PM

i mean wtf? really?

scientists and others have been prediciting this exact scenario for at least 30 years.

i just heard on CNN that an expert predicts that 8 out of 10 residents fled the city prior to the event. computer models are predicting that 1/3 of thos remaing will die or have died. that number is 75,000 people.

discuss.

i'm outta here, i'm moving to holland!!

Last I checked, New Orleans has been around more than 30 years.

High Plains Drifter · 08-31-2005, 01:56 PM

Yeah, they've had all this time to move over a million buildings and roads 40 feet in the air. I wonder why they couldn't get it done.

He asked why they put it there in the first place. New Orleans was a swamp before it was pumped and a city built.

After Shock Media · 08-31-2005, 01:57 PM

If I recall the city was sort of built above sea level, it just has been sinking for decades if not centuries.

mechanicvirus · 08-31-2005, 01:59 PM

New Orleans is the biggest port for oil in the US, it would be a huge economic loss if weren't there. Unfortunately the hurricane destroyed a lot of it.

cool1g · 08-31-2005, 02:22 PM

New Orleans was created into a city by the French in the 1700s....the frenchie in charge was told by his engineering people that it was below sea level and would flood, but he told them to do it anyway so they did.

I'm sorry, I took the thread title as sarcasm. If it's not sarcasm then ignore my post but I don't think anyone believes NO is under 30 years old.

The problem with NO is that not only was it built below sea level originally, but in modern times, all the dams upstream on the Mississippi River have slowed down the silt deposits at the mouth of the river where NO is, thereby making the city sink in relation to the higher ground upstream. The botton line is that if they do manage to rebuild the city where it is, it will certainly flood again.

when the carolinas were devasted by hurricanes, they were banned from rebuilding on the coast. why should we have to pay for new orleans to be rebuilt to have the same thing happen in a decade or two? just curious

it's not that i'm being callous, just trying to figure out why anyone would bring a business there from this point on.

Boston is built on marshland. Your point? There is a right way to do it...and then there is the moronic way. The French way.

ROFL . You think the frenchies built most of the city ? yeah right ...

Fletch XXX · 08-31-2005, 06:37 PM

Ya know, youd be surprised. NASA has a huge facility there. On ther westbank and near where I grew up.

There is a huge NASA presence there because that is where NASA builds its fuel containers. It is also where the nation keeps its oil reserves. NASA has interest in Lousiana, and its important to this nations space program.

Lousiana not only supplies 25% of oil to this nation, but it also holds the oil reserves people speak of all the time.

These are very important areas and that port has been an important area to this country since my early family members moved there to settle the land in the late 1600s.

Maybe they should rebuild it on stilts. It's not as stupid as it first sounds.

baddog · 08-31-2005, 08:03 PM

when NO was first built it was not below sea level. as it expanded outwards, it included land that was below sea level

to specify.

Quote:

Even though Hurricane Katrina has moved well north of the city, the waters may still keep rising in New Orleans late on Tuesday. That's because Lake Pontchartrain continues to pour through a two-block-long break in the main levee, near the city's 17th Street Canal. With much of the Crescent City some 10 feet below sea level, the rising tide may not stop until it's level with the massive lake.

there have been project drafts specifically for the area that was breached and the funds have been diverted to Iraq. Articles have cited this for years.

Quote:

One project that a contractor had been racing to finish this summer: a bridge and levee job right at the 17th Street Canal, site of the main breach on Monday.

Quote:

after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars.
