WWL - NOLA 17th Street Canal Pump is failing and will fail

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.

YES IT IS! I honestly can't discern if the water ir rising or not right now...

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.

CNN is live again at 1 AM
