This review is from: 60 Minutes - New Orleans Is Sinking (November 20, 2005) (DVD)
I remember when 60 minutes aired this piece. New Orleans and south La were in pain and our own country could not decide if they would help us or not. In the middle of all this 60 minutes ran this piece, from a man who is not an expert in the field, saying New Orleans is doomed anyway. The city, the local CBS affiliate and LSU Geology tried to stop the airing, or at least get their views aired to balance it, because it was clap trap. 60 Minutes refused. New Orleans is still alive due to the heroism of its citizens and volunteers from all over the world. I hope you never have to experience the devastation we had (and still live with) in the Gulf South and experience the abandonment we felt by the very people that should have been the ones getting on the government for their lies, cronyism and incompetence.
