  • 29 August 2007. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. <br />
Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. President Bush visited a high school less than a mile from the still demolished Alfred Lawless High School in the Lower 9th Ward. Bush posed for photo opportunities at a newly rebuilt high school, yet close by the ghostly remains of another high school show how so many have been left behind. The area remains mostly abandoned and overgrown. President Bush came to town and claimed he could be proud of what local and federal government have achieved in the city. Yet two years after the storm, it is quite clear that local and federal government are failing and have a great deal to do to live up their promises.<br />

Lieutenant General Russel L. Honore, the army commander who came to New Orleans and took charge during the darkest days following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Honore revisits the mainly deserted, still decimated Lower 9th Ward on the Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The area remains mostly abandoned and overgrown with grass growing in the streets. President Bush came to town and claimed he could be proud of what local and federal government have achieved in the city. Yet two years after the storm, it is quite clear that local and federal government are failing and have a great deal to do to live up their promises.<br />

England fans celebrate the few penalty kicks their team converted against Portugal, before ultimately suffering in silence when England crashed out of the World Cup - yet again!

Fading away. Booms fail to protect precious wetlands south of Pointe Aux Chenes where oil washes up on the  marsh grasses. If the grass dies, there is nothing left to hold the land. All of this was solid ground just 100 years ago. Diversion of the mighty Mississippi River diverted sediment from the wetlands and deposited precious land building material deep out at sea.  At present, all these fishing grounds are closed. Members of the Pointe aux Chenes Indians, settlers that can trace their roots beyond 5 generations back to France face extinction of their very way of life, their very existence. French cajun is the language of the elders, but is dying out in the children of today. BP's catastrophic oil spill threatens everything, their way of life and the land on which they live. Not recognised by the federal government, the 680 member tribe struggles for funds in a small community that survives only because of fishing and oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico.<br />

Storms don't discriminate. The once predominantly white middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility.  Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Hurricane Isaac struck on August 29th 2012.<br />
