Re: The Entangled web of Katrina & NOLA ** HP to reschedule NOLA conference next month

I was thinking that they bring in garbage from around the country and make
it the country's largest landfill.  They use the garbage to bring it up to
sea level and build on top.  Everybody keeps their existing property lines.
(a bit off topic for iSeries technical discussion).

I'm also reminded of somewhere in Japan they built an airport on the ocean
by dropping enough dirt in to fill it up.  It's constantly sinking into the
ocean but they've got computer-controlled (perhaps by an iSeries)
hydraulics that are continually lifting and leveling it out.

Or at least bring in new dirt to a depth of 10 feet above sea level,  or
so?

If they have to do it all over anyway, maybe they should pick a locale

that's not so vulnerable to hurricanes :)
