The Industrial Canal levee failure is believed to be caused by a very
large barge that broke loose.

The items you list are a problem but they are NOT the problem NO is
facing this time around. NO is below the level of the surrounding
water. They build levees to hold the water back and to create canals
to pump what water does make it in, out.

Two of those levees failed. Neither of the levees that failed were on
the river they both were on canals that fed the lake.
