Barge and two small vessels loose in Industrial Canal
by Michelle Krupa, The Times-Picayune
Monday September 01, 2008, 9:52 AM
The Coast Guard confirmed Monday at 9:45 a.m. that crews are working to secure a barge and two small vessels that are loose in the Industrial Canal, according to New Orleans' Office of Emergency Preparedness.
The vessels are not causing serious damage to levees or other infrastructure, officials said.
One of the vessels, which broke away from an area near the Southern Scrapyard, was bumping into barriers that protect the Sewerage & Water Board discharge system on the west side of the canal, though officials said that system is "very strong."
One of the vessels is a decommissioned Navy ship, they said.
Coast Guard officials said they also are investigating a second report of a vessel sinking in Harahan, said Chief Warrant Ofc. Brandon Brewer, but the report hasn't been confirmed.
New Orleans City Council members Arnie Fielkow and Cynthia Willard-Lewis, who spent the night hunkered down on the second floor of City Hall, said that if emergency officials authorized it, they planned to head to the Lower 9th Ward to survey the situation.
Coast Guard officials were dispatched about 9 a.m. to check on reports of loose vessels, according to Paul Rainwater, a top official for Gov. Bobby Jindal who is embedded at City Hall.
Willard-Lewis, who represents the Lower 9th Ward, said she and representatives of several community groups met on a conference call two days ago with officials with the local levee board, U.S. Coast Guard, state Department of Transportation and Development, Army Corps of Engineers and others to discuss the removal of vessels from the channel before Gustav hit.
Willard-Lewis, who represents the area, said she was told yesterday that the Industrial Canal had been cleared. She was upset by the mention that barges could be loose in the canal.
"The Coast Guard told me all barges had been removed. It was very disturbing to me," she said. During Hurricane Katrina, a barge drifted through a toppled Industrial Canal levee and landed on top of a school bus in a scene that became an infamous image of the 2005 storm.

Loose barge is posing threat in industrial canal...
Question? Why were any barges or vessels allowed to be in the area when they were aware of the fact that one busted the levees in 2005? Quoting: dsoul in louisiana 495097
hmmm, guess when getting all the people out they forgot about the barges ;) |

They have done some rebuilding. Enough that if it got flooded again it will be a serious setback and a lot of money lost.

Well it was said they only needed 8 feet of storm surge in a couple of places.
Of course if it breaks the standard GLP take will be that the Jews blew up the levees. Quoting: G. House
And the standard G. House comment will be sarcastic. So predictable. |

Well just today I saw a comment in a post that said the Jews blew up the levees during Katrina.
How am I being sarcastic when GLPers are so predictable? |

And the forecasters say that there is still a few hours left of the storm surge (and intense rainfall) increasing before it begins abating...

That's not really a good thing to do by the way.
They are NOT safe because there is a lot of movement in that water and a lot of debri moving in that water.
Easy to get trapped, crushed, whatever. If the levee happened to let go right when they were by the breach they could get swept away and pounded into immovable objects.
Not safe by any means. |

Not safe at all.
What if they see serious cracks/faults?
Nothing can be done, can it?
I would rather those men NOT be underwater...just too dangerous. |

Living below sea-level IS INSANE
Sympathy for people who willingly live below sea level is wasted on idiots.
Past time for them to give up draining that lake they live in and moving back in.
Past time for the rest of US to subsidize idiots moving back into a lake below sea level. Quoting: himself
I have said the same thing on another thread. I agree completely.
Although I do have great compassion for anyone in danger, I cannot fathom why people choose to live in flood plains. And I have no respect for developers who create cities and residential areas in flood plains.
The blame really goes on the developers. Leaders, in any capacity, have a responsibility to put people before $$. |

Question? Why were any barges or vessels allowed to be in the area when they were aware of the fact that one busted the levees in 2005?
On Friday they reported doing a fly over of the city and they THEN reported barges not properly secured.
why are the barges EVEN THERE????????? Quoting: Beingsouthern |

When you live in a lake below sea level you should expect that lake to be flooded during storms |
