DUMB QUESTION TIME - WHERE ARE HELICOPTERS TO DROP 1000LB POLY PLY BAGS OF SAND INTO THE BREECH?

WHERE ARE THE EMPTY BARGES TO SINK AT THE BREECH TO DO THE SAME THING???

There must be a body of experience in the world - even the Dutch had a boy to stick something in the leaky dyke

"Officials began using helicopters to drop 3,000-pound sandbags onto one of the levees, hoping to close the breach."

Don't know if that's true. Everyone else said it hasn't started.

I would think it might be dangerous to start dropping heavy objects on a crumbling structure.

Did you read the article? The answer is there.

Didn't think so.

not a dumb question. where is the plan to patch the leaks? the scenario, levee breech, had been looong predicted.

Where was the plan? I mean it isn't like every other hurricane in the Gulf didn't at look like it might hit NO. Where was the drill? Firemen practice, policemen practice, Homeland Security practices, they get ready, they tell us what we need to have in case of an emergency but NO didn't have a plan?!?!
