I distinctly remember watching a show on the Science Channel back in June of last year that proposed a scenario in which New Orleans was destroyed by a direct hit of a Category 5 hurricane. They specifically mentioned levees failing as the main contributor to the disaster.
In the days leading up to the hurricane, I also distinctly remember the Weather Channel speculating over and over again just how disastrous it would be in New Orleans if the levees were breached.
I don't know if President Bush watched any of this or was aware of any of these, but I find it highly unlikely that as the president, he was wholly unaware of any such danger.
Who could anticipate such a thing happening? Just about every news and weather agency out there.
