Summary
Looks at the failures and mistakes made by officials during the hurricane, Katrina, which stunned Americain 2005. Before she hit, many knew the secret behind the New Orleans' flood defences, that they were not built to withstand the strongest kinds of hurricane. Emergency planners talk about the disaster and who knew what, and when. An insider from the government's crisis team says the blame lies with incompetent leadership. And, forgotten by their own politicians, how the residents took matters into their own hands, including a twenty year-old black refugee who stole a bus to drive to safety with a cargo of homeless passengers
