Katrina vs. 911?!?!

I agree! You can't even compare the two. They were both horrible in their own ways. A lot of people were killed in both. But one was a terror attack and one was a hurricane and flood to follow. There's really nothing, besides the amount of people killed and the victims still having to deal with it everyday, in common.

yes they are different. Both caused damage, both caused loss of life. However, the horrifying disaster of 9/11, I mean mentally on those people at that moment must have been worse. Let me clarify. what I mean is, being on that plane thinking all is good, or going to work thinking you'll be home to have dinner and then .....bam....life change. Didn't see it coming. With Katrina, it was coming and people knew it. Now I'm not critisizing anyone for not leaving. I have never left during a hurricane even when I was supposed to evacuate. But it's a different kind of disaster. Both have had long term effects on this country. But, yes, they are different effects.

Its very difficult for some people to invisage the magnitude of this disaster. Most have a mental picture of the twin towers and appreciate the devastation that caused in a built up area. But when such a vaste inhabited area was destroyed it can come beyond our imagination to get a mental picture of what happened. We have recently suffered the worse flooding that UK has suffered. Its been the subject in our media for days but in comparison with Katrina it is a flea bite. Infact our whole country would probably fit into the area affected two or three times if not more, in Mississippi.

yeah that is ridiculous even though katrina was very devistating and killed a lot of people and ruined a lot of buildings and homes pretty much demolished new orleans 9/11 was still worse because it was an act of terroism that made it worse terroism will beat out a huricane anyday you have someone tring to kill so many people which makes it worse.
