카트리나 2년 후, 아직도 신음하는 뉴올리언스
Good evening. Two years ago, at this very moment, we had just gotten out of the Super Dome. We rode out 이겨내다, 극복하다 Katrina in there along with thousands of people who stayed in there after we were able to get out so that we could get on the air 방송을 시작하다. We emerged 나타나다 that night and we looked around, trying to find out what Katrina had done to this city.
And this is what we reported that night at the top of NBC Nightly News. And good evening from a battered 박살난 and soaked 흠뻑 젖은 city of New Orleans. And those windows on that high-rise building 고층빌딩, for that matter 그 일이라면, 실제로는, all the high-rise buildings in the downtown portion of this city have the local people here saying it looks like a bomb went off <폭탄이> 터지다 downtown. Hurricane Katrina certainly arrived here with explosive power and not even as destructive as first predicted.
And note, those last words there, not as destructive as first predicted. That’s because the levees 제방, 둑 didn’t break, the water didn’t come into the city until that night. It was, of course, we now know a tremendous 무시무시한 disaster. We later saw the Super Dome roof ripped 찢어지다 into pieces, a city inundated 물에 잠기게 하다 by water and let’s not forget the death toll 사망자수 in Katrina was close to 1,800 of our fellow Americans.
And take a look at this live picture. Here tonight, the windows on the corner of one of the high-rise buildings across from us here that were blown out two years ago today. They are still broken. Because there is just so much to fix in this city and just so much time.
