Re: [Assam] NYTimes.com: Government Saw Flood Risk but Not Levee Failure

C-da,

 

It is surprising that so many people are dying even after the announcement that ALL must leave the cities being hit by Katrina. Seems there is much more to people's intelligence than mere school level education - since nearly ALL are literate in US and have money enough to buy TVs and hire buses to leave the city. Still about 100,000 remained in the city and thousands are supposed to be dead.
