It was definitely a man-made disaster when it came to New Orleans. I made this analogy to someone else: if lightning strikes a skyscraper and the skyscraper burns down and kills everyone inside due to a lack of a sprinkler system, is that really death by a natural cause? I would say it's death by gross incompetence.

But we couldn't have the poor corporation taking the responsibility for that. They'd never get their insurance pay out! And after all that work disabling the sprinkler system and installing extra metal antennae in the roof...
