Members of A Community Voice in the 9th Ward neighborhoods of New Orleans are asking their city and state officials to investigation the mysterious explosions along the Industrial Canal that have been occurring late at night. The community is concerned that these booms have been damaging the flood walls and increase their vulnerability to flooding.
A spokesperson for the Army Corps of Engineers’ claims that they can not “confirm or deny” that the Corps is involved in the explosions. This response does not sit well with residents who have been flooded out by the Corps numerous times. Instead of explosions, A Community Voice is asking for adequate flood protections for all and an end to the proposed Industrial Canal Expansion Project.
Here is video link of the protest. Playlist of 4 videos.
