An aerial photograph of Six Flags New Orleans taken two weeks after Hurricane Katrina struck the city. The theme park is located in a low-lying artificial basin, and as such remained flooded with 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 m) of brackish water for more than a month. The corrosive water damaged most of the rides past the point of salvageability, and Six Flags terminated their 75-year lease over the property. Though there have been several plans to redevelop the site, Six Flags New Orleans today remains abandoned.Photograph: Bob McMillan/FEMA; edit: Chris Woodrich
