The Duke and his fellow 'Adventurers' invested a fortune in the scheme in return for large parcels of reclaimed land and engaged Cornelius Vermuyden, an eminent Dutch engineer, to undertake the work starting with the 21 mile long Old Bedford River stretching from Earith to Denver Sluice in 1630. so it seems a dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden did your dikes. :-} |

The Dutch are sending experts who know how to fill a hole in a dyke, since the only superpower in the world seems to be incapable of anything except putting troops on streets. Humm, they have much skill doing this after a Cat 4 Hurricane do they ? Which Dutch helicopters have 20K lbs lift capacity ? jay Fri Sep 02, 2005 -- Martin |

There is storm surge and then there is Hurricane storm surge... point
me to the last time NL had 15-25' surge over 1000 miles of coastline combined with sustained 150mph winds for hours....NEVER! In fact, the massive NEW gates in NL have never been tested and will never experience what the Gulf Coast just went through. Katrina recorded the the 4th lowest pressure in the Atlantic basin in more than 150 years...over an area 10x the size of NL. Sand bags... these are not a bunch of people filling sand bags w/ shovels... they are 10K and 20K bags combined w/ huge "k" rails. This is what is required with breaches 200-300 meters wide.... that requires helicopters assets that few nations have... the Dutch are not among these nations. Thankfully, the Dutch will never experience this type of cataclysmic event... nor the associated tornados... not to mention earthquakes and heat waves. But if you have been watching the BBC for your info... your comments are understandable... they have had few engineers interviewed... they concentrate on "Political Science" Profs addressing the hardship on American blacks... the majority population of NOLA ... by far. NASA and her billions of US taxpayer dollars... saved millions... it was their SATs that provide early warning for the entire world. As I said at the time of the asian tsunami, it is defence spending that saves live during natural disasters... and "per-capita" spending alone does not build mighty ships like USS Iwa Jima w/ her massive helicopter airlift capacity and desalinization water plants. Today's "heat index" in the Gulf Coast is approaching 46C... what is the "heat index" in Amsterdam today ? jay Sat Sep 03, 2005 .... posting from London |

In fact, the massive NEW gates in NL have never been tested They were used several times last winter. As were the ones in London. You mean they were actually closed for the first times... but not a test of their capacity. New Orleans has had the practical tests of Betsy and Camille... The problem this time is people did not heed the waring...somewhat understandable with the recent misses of Ivan and Dennis... some of my relatives only left with hours before landfall. and will never experience what the Gulf Coast just went through. Katrina recorded the the 4th lowest pressure in the Atlantic basin in more than 150 years...over an area 10x the size of NL.

This is what is required with breaches 200-300 meters wide.... that requires helicopters assets that few nations have... the Dutch are not among these nations. The Dutch use barges A barge on the incredibly narrow 17th St canal with a breach of 300 meters... please... putting a 'thumb' in the dyke is a joke.... but you use whatever you can till you can get the "K" rails and sand bags... that can then be further supported by steel. and rafts pile drivers and steel shuttering, as I have read are being used in New Orleans. Thankfully, the Dutch will never experience this type of cataclysmic event... nor the associated tornados... not to mention earthquakes and heat waves. The Dutch experienced it in 1945 & 1953. No... you did not experience anything like Katrina. But if you have been watching the BBC for your info... your comments are understandable... they have had few engineers interviewed... they concentrate on "Political Science" Profs addressing the hardship on American blacks... the majority population of NOLA ... by far. NASA and her billions of US taxpayer dollars... saved millions... it was their SATs that provide early warning for the entire world. and not Eumetsat's Meteosats? No. jay Sat Sep 03, 2005 -- Martin |
