The disaster brought by Hurricane Katrina is perhaps unprecedented in the American history. Some people associated it with the tsunami happened last yearend in the Indian Ocean and called it “a tsunami of America”; others were reminded of the terror attacks New York suffered four years ago, and called it a “natural disaster version of 9/11”.
Doubtlessly, the losses caused by Katrina are huge. But many experts asked whether the tragedy is a pure “natural disaster”, since in some places of southern America, especially in New Orleans city, many people took the opportunity to loot.
