Looking pretty good, actually:

Great pictures! Thanks for posting this link.
Holy shit. That is some awful destruction. But the clean-up, even at this point is amazing. I was particularly floored by the one taken at the top of a staircase. And the one with the boat on the roof. Where did all that garbage end up going?
Detroit.
Very interesting pics there.
It’s amazing what you can accomplish with enough giant robots.
Wow. They are handling it.
Having worked on rather more primitive tsunami cleanup, I have to say the progress is staggering.
Did the take those ships apart or tow them away?
Great photos of an unbelievable effort. You really get slapped with the amount of work that had to be done to come even to that point in a 6month period. Thank you for posting this.
Very cool - thanks! Reminds me a little of this pic of the USS Cole being brought back to the U.S. for repairs: http://www.g-ratedstuff.com/navy_pix/usscole1.jpg
In that first series of pictures, all of the debris has been removed, but that white van is still in the same spot.
perhaps it’s the photographer’s van?
I think it’s in a slightly different spot in the last photo.
Amazing how much they’ve done so far. I admire their will and determination to clean up the damage and move forward.
Heck, it’s been years and parts of New Orleans is still showing Katrina damage.
It is remarkable. Thanks for posting.
True, but the population being significantly lower in New Orleans now is the main reason I would think.

2000 484,674 −2.5% 2010 343,829 −29.1%
Bumping this thread to post these astonishing pictures after one year (click the pics for before/after). Mindblowing.
They’ve done some pretty amazing cleaning-up. Odd to see several of the larger vessels still in place, though.
What else are you going to do with them? They’d have to be cut up where they sit. Maybe they can be turned into buildings…
