This very scenario was being discussed much earlier than that.

And FEMA even did a drill for the very same disaster.

I think I've already had too many :cool:

Interesting stuff. Helps me understand.
The graphics in "Washing Away" are very explanatory.

Thanks,

Yeah, to take it one step further, FEMA believes that there are 3 most likely incidents that the US may vulnerable to are 1) a hurricane strike in New Orleans, 2) a terrorist attack in New York, and 3) a large scale earthquake in San Francisco.

The first two are a foregone conclusion - they already occurred. #3 is kinda scary.

I thought #3 already happened.. didn't the oakland bridge thingie collapse?
