Colonel Bedey, Commander of the Hurricane Protection office, Army Corps of Engineers at the head of the 17th Steet canal, close to where the levee breached, destroying the mostly white, affluent area of Lakeview. Bedey assures us that the current levee system is as good as, and up to at least the same strength as the pre Katrina levees. Not really all that good news a year later, considering the level of protection the last lot of levees gave the city!

Edward stands in the neighbourhood he grew up in, close to where his mother's house was destroyed by hurricanme Katrina, the area from which he lost friends to the storm. His father 'died of grief' a few months after the storm, Edward says, once his father saw his destroyed home. Edward is wortking for the city, attempting to stop the waste of clean water that pours into drains from the hundreds of cracked water mains in the city. He stands in the lower 9th ward close to the Industrial Canal levee breach and his childhood home which no longer stands.
