Summary
This classic episode of 48 Hours, which last aired on 7/5/2008, explores a tragedy in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After Hurricane Katrina had passed over southeastern Louisiana, many people thought the region had been spared from the most severe damage. But the worst was yet to come: on Monday, August 29th 2005, the region's protective levees started to fail, and entire communities were overwhelmed by floodwater. Could the operators of St. Rita's Nursing Home, Sal and Mabel Magano, be held responsible after 35 people in their care die? "48 Hours" correspondent Harold Dow reports. Watch all-new episodes of 48 Hours on Saturdays, and stream on demand on Paramount+.
