Looking at the Google Earth satellite pictures of the flooded area there are
no barges in the 17th Street canal or anywhere close to the other break. As
I understand it the 17th street canal break started as an underwash that
broke through the backing berm. When the berm washed out there was no
support for the wall.

Looked like a COE dredging barge to me.

Was there a photo?

This is the first, and only discussion of a barge
damaging the levees that I've come across.
