H.J. Bosworth Jr, lead researcher for Levees.org
Levees.org will be a guest of Garland Robinette this morning at 11:20am CST.
H.J. Bosworth Jr, lead researcher for Levees.org will talk about an underground steel wall being built under the border of Egypt and Gaza by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that will be reportedly impenetrable and will take 18 months to construct according to the BBC. The steel wall is intended to cut the tunnels that go between Gaza and Egypt.
Ann Wright, Retired US Army Colonel states:
“Just as the steel walls of the US Army Corps of Engineers at the base of the levees of New Orleans were unable to contain Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ underground steel walls that will attempt to build an underground cage of Gaza will not be able to contain the survival spirit of the people of Gaza.”
You can listen to Garland and H.J. at AM870 or FM105.3 Friday Dec 11, 2009 at 11:20 CST

To expose the usace as the inempt organization they are nonetheless does little to force them to build levees that do not fail. Just as recently uncovering construction debris installed as levee clay, and, the absurd notion that grass and rock qualify as “amour”, just furthers the need to design/construct for flood prevention not the never ending excuses by repeating the ongoing mistakes of the past. Only through the private sector can the true problem of building long term safe and reliable levees be solved. Wishful thinking!
