This feels like disXXXX. I was up all night the night of Katrina, and I recall hearing around 2-3:00am that a levee was breached at around 1:30am. There is record of that at TB2000. Not a great source, but this event happened to pan out.<br><br>also there is an article about this in WSJonline.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB112649152397237699-jY66qEIaFPA_eYv1ga4oiF6x2G4_20051012.html?mod=mktw">online.wsj.com/public/art...l?mod=mktw</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>They say the earliest news reports were around 7-9am<br><br>I stick to my timeline on this one, approx. 1:30am. That was only 6 or so hours after the brunt of the storm in New Orleans, not 18 to 21. I remember being shocked that the MSMdidn't pick up unconfirmed reports until about 7:30am.(waiting for .gov to say its ok to report?) Too late to warn those left behind. The hospital near the 17th street breach was updating a website until they lost aux power from generators getting flooded. I believe that was the first source I ran across.<br><br>I feel like the levee's were spiked by something other than Katrina, but that kind of innacuracy is suspicious. The rest of the article looks plausible, but timing, the timeline, is a crucial element of criminal investigation. I don't like to see such obvious mistakes.<br><br> One could say the 1 piece of disXXXX could be drowned by a bevy of accurate and damning evidence of the blackmail of the Gov. of the State of LA by Bush and his grip on FEMA and other sources of assistance. That would be an effective way to muddy the water at the breach. When you finish reading the timing of the breach is the least significant detail of the article.<br><br>The most important thing to get right is the timing of the breaches if you are going to expose criminal demolition. All else follows.<br><br>Anybody who wastes time arguing with Ruppert is suspicious anyway. Arguing is not very productive as we have all discovered here.<br><br>firstimer<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
