the worse case scenario sometimes happens. in any disaster plan, always the question has to be asked: not that is the least likely outcome or least costly outcome, but what will hurt the most and how can we prepare for complete tragedy? the situation in the gulf coast region of the USA is a national scar and appalling.
in a recent press stop, while the president toured the area, the crude oil pipelines and mississippi river shipping lanes are 80% up and running, while people die of dehydration and starvation in the streets of new orleans. where is the berlin air drop? i see shadows of the fall of Bagdad, when the oil ministry was protected, while looters raided the city and burned it down.
now new orleans is baghdad! where was the planning for the worst case, that is now reality?
