“The
Storm," an hour-long FRONTLINE
investigation, examines how and why government at every level –
local, state and federal – was unprepared, uncoordinated and
overwhelmed in dealing with the Hurricane Katrina disaster that devastated
the Gulf Coast in the late summer of 2005 and killed more than 900
people in New Orleans. The full program is available for viewing online.
“Storm
that Drowned a City” is an hour-long NOVA
production which is available for viewing online. Experts and eyewitnesses
reconstruct the devastating floods that Hurricane Katrina unleashed
on New Orleans.
“Termite-inators
attack the Big Easy” is a Discovery
Channel production. The levees of New Orleans failed due to the
high winds and floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina, but the extent of
the damage may not have been due to these factors alone. You might
be surprised to learn the role some tiny saboteurs may have played
in the disaster.
