Line 9:
There were six major breaches in the city of [[New Orleans]] itself (the Orleans [[Parish (administrative division)|parish]], as compared to [[Greater New Orleans]] which comprises eight parishes):
#Three major breaches occurred on the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (locally known as the [[Industrial Canal|Industrial Canal)]]. A breach on the northeast side near the junction with the [[Gulf Intracoastal Waterway]] flooded [[New Orleans East]]. Two breaches on the southeast side between Florida Avenue and Claiborne Avenue combined into a single 1,000 foot wide hole that allowed stormwater to catastrophically rush into the adjacent [[Lower Ninth Ward.]]
#On the western edge of New Orleans near Hammond Highway, a breach opened in the [[17th Street Canal]] levee. Floodwater flowed through a hole that became 450 feet wide, flooding the adjacent Lakeview neighborhood.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Christine |last2=Battjes |first2=Jurgen |last3=Daniel |first3=David |last4=Edge |first4=Billy |last5=Espy |first5=william |last6=Gilbert |first6=Robert |last7=Jackson |first7=Thomas |last8=Kennedy |first8=David |last9=Dennis |first9=Mileti |date=2007 |title=The New Orleans Hurricane Protection System: What Went Wrong and Why |url=https://levees.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/American-Society-of-Civil-Engineers-What-Went-Wrong-ERPreport-1.pdf |website=Levees.org}}</ref>
