the disaster of the decade

Hurricane Katrina was the most memorable event that took place in the entire decade. The things that stood out about the hurricane was the lack of support from the government. To witness or to hear the stories of the victims who suffered in this tragedy is very sad. I cant say which is worst the actual storm or the aftermath of the storm. If their is anybody who does not have an understanding or idea of what actually took place i advise them to watch spike lee's documentary "When the Levees Broke". This documentary showed exclusive footage from the victims and the scene of this coastal disaster. It showed how 80% of an entire city was under water leaving the elderly and children to be left on their roof tops and stranded in their attics. The film also showed the victims who sought out shelter at the convention center and the super dome. The conditions were inhumane no food, no water, and the to suffer from the scorchimg heat of the summer made some of these victims very ill to the point of even death.
