Katrina: A modern Titanic?

=

I can't help but notice the similarities between the disaster in New Orleans and the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic passengers who waited, or didn't have the means, found there were no more lifeboats left when they finally got to the evacution decks.

The implementation of, what now seem like common sense, vigulance and precautionary procedures after the Titanic sank have saved countless lives. I can only hope that similar steps are taken after Katrina sank New Orleans.
