I personally found it hard to believe that stadium managment company SMG thought suing the 14 companies responsible for the construction of the Louisiana Superdome's roof would actually bear fruit.
SMG claims that ""The roof was supposed to insure that the Superdome could serve as a haven of evacuation of last resort for hurricanes which threaten New Orleans; an ark in any storm where residents who could not otherwise evacuate would be safely housed."
I smirked until I learned that "Horizon Group" made a new roof for the complex four years ago, and promised that it would withstand winds of over 200 mph.
Well that did not happen. The roof weakened under the pressure and winds of Hurricane Katrina, and leaked, harming over 20,000 people who took refuge in the giant structure.
