After Katrina, the “Army Corps of Engineers asked the American Society of Civil Engineers to hand pick some members to find the truth. Then they paid them nearly $1 million and awarded them medals of honor,” the PSA says.
Levees.org is calling for another a new review of flood protection and “organizational failures that caused widespread flooding in metro New Orleans in August of 2005.”
The 64-second PSA was uploaded to YouTube at 9 p.m. Monday night. So far, the video has received 18,012 views.
