Aren't you tired of hearing about Hurricane Katrina??

Question

I feel bad for the victims, but damn, it over already, won't the media ever move on?

Answer 1

The very morning it hit the Gulf Coast at 6:13, it hit land as a category 5 hurricane. I live in Louisiana and watched the news coverage for too long. Then the victims came to the northern part of the state and affected everyone way of life. It was a horrible event in history and yes we need to stop replaying bit by bit on every news channel in this country, but also try to remember that alot of lives where affected and alot of those victims used that way beyond the lines of charity. It turned out to reflect badly on Louisiana as a state. Very embarrassing. However, the clean up is still under way and everyone is still whining. I am with you, why dwell on such a horrific travesty!! You know the media loves to run everything in the ground. The fact is... IT IS OVER!

Answer 2

I lived through it. The place where I worked was five floors. It's now four because the first is gone. Where were u during Hurricane Katrina? I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I still have the scars. I'm more than ready to move on. But I may need a little more than sympathy from people like you.

Answer 3

I was until I happened to view a new spin last night on HBO which offered great historical perspective of how the same thing has happened before. I was shocked when I heard about how the Feds blew up the levees in 1938 to flood the 9th ward purposely in order to protect the more upscale areas. Implications were made that this same thing happened may have happened with Katrina. A government for the people is suppossed to be all inclusive.

Answer 4

I'm sorry you're tired of hearing about it, but it isn't over. The media is focusing on it so heavily now because it has been a year, and the homes haven't been rebuilt, people are still living in trailers, and there is very little evidence that if it happened again today, we'd be able to handle it any better. The media is covering it because it's NEWS. Who'd have thought that a year after a natural disaster of this size, in THIS country, we'd still be so mired in red tape?

Answer 5

Katrina is still newsworthy because of how little has been done to rebuild blighted areas. There is also so much corruption and ineptness involved in this story, particularly on the part of our government, before during and after this catastrophe. It's tragic that some Americans have such a short attention span and never really deeply understand what is going on around them.

Answer 6

you will proceed to hearken to approximately it for the era of something of the Bush presidency. I have been given fifty 4 million hits for "Katrina" and approximately 15 million for "Bush Katrina." Like Neptune of Greek mythology, Bush brought about typhoon Katrina, do no longer you realize? those college buses interior the flood parking zone? Bush's fault. Mayor and governor no longer doing their job? Bush's fault. Water flows right into a community under sea point? Bush's fault. even nonetheless it is going to all magically disappear while the subsequent president takes over, except its a Republican.

Answer 7

The media likes mayhem. As long as they can stretch it out they will.
They have not even taken time to look at the proccess it takes to rebuild. Just building a home can take a few months....and with wide spread destruction...getting permits to demolish and/or rebuild must be a nightmare...not to mention the hassles with insurance companies and finding contractors.

People need to realize where they live and the hazards that exist and prepare for the worst and stop expecting the gov't to just step in and give freebies.

Answer 8

In order to improve New Orleans the Government should have started pushing the wreckage of all the buildings from Mississippi/Alabama line all down th coast and piled it on top of New Orleans then raising the land .Once above sea level rebuild.

Answer 9

When did you get tired of the 9/11 victims?

Answer 10

It was a really sad situation (which means it was a big story for them) but I agree that it might be time to kinda let it go a little. I mean, hearing about it occasionally is fine; it keeps us informed about how the rebuilding is going and reminds us how bad it really was. However, when you hear it all the time, it's hard not to become numb to it.
