The Lower 9th Ward, on the east side of New Orleans was under five to six feet of rising water after three pumps failed, according to WGNO reporter Susan Roesgen, who is with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.

So much for those pumps working. Besides, where are they going to pump the water to?

The pumps were almost guarenteed to fail, once, due to the fact they pump into the Lake, which was the reason for a lot of the flooding, and two, they are powered by electrocity, which was expected to give out. The backup deisel generators aren't expected to be brought online until the national guard units can reach them.
