Remembering Hurricane Katrina 20 years later

20 years ago today, the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast changed forever as Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a monster category three storm. Nearly 1400 people were ultimately killed. More than 1 million were displaced from their homes, and New Orleans was mostly underwater after the levees failed, causing catastrophic flooding all across the city.
Historian Douglas Brinkley, author of “The Great Deluge, Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast” joins CNN’s Dana Bash to discuss the storm’s impact on the Gulf region.
