Seriously, I'm as outraged as you are. This is BS. Like I said elsewhere, this is Andrew all over again.
Why do we seem so unprepared for major hurricanes that cause massive damage when they occur every few years?
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

There isn't going to be a qcuik fix. At this point, it's better to let the breaches stay open, so the water can flow back out once the level of Lake Ponchetrain drops.
Not realy, this way you'll let the whole basin flood to the max, this will destroy much of the city and make the land itself useless for the comming years.
Sailing ships in to plug the holes worked for us in '53, dont see why it wouldnt work here.
I'm also having the impression the hurricane response completely lacks coordination.

Because the levees along the canal are overflowed, not just breached.

The same word can have multiple meanings in English, which is why little school boys always laugh when they hear about the little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in a dy.ke.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

According to the Amry Corp of Enginneers, it's already flooded as high as it's gonna go. They figure it's best to just let nature do it's work and let it flow back out the way it came now, and then start using the pumps.
And yes, the city and surrounding will be devestated for years. Hell, it may never even recover fully.

Might even be a good idea to let the river flow through the city for a couple of days to get the salt water out.
If its on its high point allready it cant do much harm I imagine.

According to NPR this morning, an entire LA parish (the LA equivalent of a county) was washed away by the hurricane. The Gulf of Mexico intrudes 40 miles further than it did previously.
I think you'll find that the GoM has rapidly been eating away at the Bayou for years - it's just done it a bit faster lately...
I knew about this particular ecological disaster years ago - 'A football field every 30 mins' kinda sticks with you. Don't you guys know anything about what goes on even in your own 'backwaters'?
A 500-yard and growing breach in the eastern wall of the 17th Street Canal separating New Orleans from Metairie is pouring hundreds of thousands of gallons of lake water per second into the New Orleans area.
Wouldn't it have been a good idea to section the levees so if one part failed only a limited sector would be flooded instead of this all or nothing situation you now have?
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
