This movie is due to air on TNT in September. See if this sounds familiar: A hurricane hits New Orleans, destroying off shore oil rigs and damaging major pipelines. The ensuing disaster is handled in standard disaster movie fashion. There will be heros, self sacrifice, everyone will go on a journey, there will be at least three plot arcs, and of course a happy ending that will leave you feeling safe and secure about the risk of it actually happening.

... or, you could just watch CNN and get a dose of reality.

Makes you wonder.. Will they air it now? IMDB says that they used a fair amount of real footage, and with clever patchwork, fit in the footage filmed in the Hollywood's good old 10ft tank. Currently New Orleans is a much bigger tank.. Think they will grab some more footage and re-edit? Maybe tag on a new ending where everyone dies and American gas prices start looking like Europe gas prices? Don't count on it.. This is made for TV after all..
