The Corps of Engineers dug? You apparently haven't heard the latest - they
pulled up some of that "shallow" seawall and discovered it was
planted to the correct depth after all.

Now they're trying to figure out why their sonar readings were so far out of whack.

They are also trying to decide who the heck was actually responsible for
maintenance - it's starting to look like it was a bunch of NOLA political
hacks... who didn't actually realize it.
