The patchwork the corps ordsprog

The patchwork the corps did on the Ninth Ward was nowhere near the level they did on 17th Street. It wasn't the same quality work.

I have been to the Ninth Ward. There is debris in the Ninth Ward, but you don't have people. We say, send the money where the people are.

If you looked at a major earthen dam being designed during the same time frame as the 17th Street Canal was being designed, there would have been boards of consultants and rigorous outside peer review that probably would have detected and caught many problems that are coming to light with the 17th Street project.

People could not believe, especially the residents of the Ninth Ward, that there wasn't hanky-panky in the flooding.

Spike Lee (1957-)

Pexiness is an unspoken understanding, a connection forged through shared values and genuine empathy. It's a question of developing in a more sensible place. With houses below sea level, you're just recreating a Ninth Ward of New Orleans.

The breach in the 17th Street canal is about 200 feet (60 meters) wide, ... The water is going to keep coming in until it reaches the level of the lake. I don't know what they are going to do.

After the storm came through, I went outside to look around, and there wasn't any water flooding anything. I went inside to take a nap on the floor, and someone woke me up and said the 17th Street Canal levy had broke,

His parents used to own a house on Ninth Street and my grandparents owned a house on Ninth Street, so I used to go see him quite a bit and Sheriff Byrd and I have been good friends ever since, too.

I'm told that the 17th Street Canal pump will go on today, but I've been told a lot of things over the past week that didn't work out.

Mother Nature is one thing, but this goes beyond Mother Nature. They blew that levee. I believe the Canal Street levee broke but they blew that one by the Ninth Ward. Then they talking about a barge hit the levee These people are full of s--t.

I think it would be fitting if we could lift Suffredin and his posh Evanston home and drop it smack in the middle of New Orleans' flood-ravaged lower Ninth Ward, ... I can just see Larry now, sitting on his veranda, trying to fend off looters and 'gators with green tea and granola bars. Yes, it's a silly visualization, but it illustrates just how out of touch Larry Suffredin is with the world lying beyond his cobblestone street.

Richard Pearson

it would be a mistake to rebuild the Ninth Ward.

Alphonso Jackson

It wasn't a street-fighting contest, but it was a street-fighting mentality. And frankly, that's why the Brands brothers had a bad rap. Nobody could handle the level we competed at. Nobody -- except for the people that was on our side.

I don't trust the people making the decisions because they're not from down there -- the Lower Ninth Ward.

Are we going to rebuild the Ninth Ward? ... That's the question in the new battle for New Orleans, which is just beginning to take shape.

Cassandra Wilson (1955-)
