This post written by a local engineer in New Orleans begins with the words: “In the five years since the worst failure in the history American Civil Engineering, we’ve had to keep up with the Corps….” The post ends with this: “From all this, I hope everyone sees how important it is to keep an eye on the Corps. Oversight is incredibly important….”
