Another sandbag barrier fails at Winfield, Mo.
Residents Henry James, left, and Herb Crosby sit on top of a house as they wait for the floodwaters to arrive after a levee break Friday, June 27, 2008, in Winfield, Mo. A section of an earthen levee broke Friday morning, releasing Mississippi River waters that officials predicted will 'ultimately inundate' part of the small town.

A sandbag wall, built by the Missouri National Guard, was not enough to hold back the floodwaters of the Mississippi River, Saturday, June 28, 2008 in Winfield, Mo. The wall was built as a last ditch effort to save the area after the Pin Oak levee was breached Friday.

WTF are they going to do with all these sand bags later? The worlds longest pistol range?
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
