Idiocy caused major problems in New Orleans

Bill on From the Swamp found an article on Federal Computer Weekly that explains the lack of communications in New Orleans. The police radio network was set up at locations below sea level, without power to run the generators in case of main utility failure.

Go read both. Bills' summation is as good as anything I could say.

This is idiocy, pure and simple. The persons who allowed this fiasco are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds or thousands of people.

And speaking of idiocy, the first comment posted was spam. I really wish there was some way to teleport all the spammers straight into the heart of the vilest portion of New Orleans where the feral gangbangers could use them as targets!
