"The failure of the New Orleans levee system was the worst engineering failure since Chernobyl."Dr. Ray Seed, Department of Civil Engineering, University of California Berkeley
"WE'RE FROM NEW ORLEANS" "We dance even if there's no music.. We drink at funerals. We talk too much and laugh too loud and live too large and, frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't... When you meet us now and you look into our eyes, you will see the saddest story ever told. Our hearts are broken into a thousand pieces. But don't pity us. We're gonna make it. We're resilient. After all, we've been rooting for the Saints for 40 years. That's got to count for something." - Chris Rose
