9-11 or New Orleans?

Which was the greater disaster? I asked my students yesterday. My point is not to relativize trauma-- please don't. But I wanted to (a) check and see if students had been following the Katrina aftermath in the news, and (b) give them a little jolt if not. Then I got this from Betsy... Here are the conditions of possibility for an interesting dicussion (at best. Maybe more likely is me continuing to rant "Katrina was not a natural disaster!" to myself). Want to join in? Take the quiz.
