By the time they fix the break, the water level on NOLA will be equal to that of the lake.

You can call that a success, or whatever.. :(

what I dont get is with all the smart engineers around the world why didnt they have a contingency plan in case a levee did break? I hope they can get it stopped in time. Your right Brent what a mess....

This is just about annoying. The news channels, like CNN (the only one I get) ends it broadcasting at 12am ET. That gives me 15 more minutes to watch this. Also, the local stations are out for the night. For one, I thought CNN was 24 hours, not 7am to 11pm. This is just frustrating, especially during a situation like this.

At least ABC is having Nightline run overtime while CNN, FOX, MSNBC are rerunning earlier programming. Thankyou Ted Koppel.

I just cannot believe that these guys have left the live news. Critical news hasn't stopped; they've just stopped covering it.

I work late hours at night. The only news being reported anymore is the BBC, or other British news networks. I've learned more about world affairs working from 1-3am than I could in any other way. BBC does interviews, and in-depth coverage. It's a sad statement on American news coverage. I hope the Brits can keep up the good work.
