2005 in Swiss music
2005 was a big year for Swiss music, with the charts becoming steadier yet less predictable than they had been in previous years. The year saw many chart debuts from both Swiss and international acts, and saw two novelty songs share a combined total of over ten weeks at the singles chart number one spot. Internationally, the Swiss also saw Vanilla Ninja take the country to their best Eurovision Song Contest position in twelve years.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
The first Swiss Top 100 Singles Chart number one of 2005 was "Living To Love You" by Sarah Connor. The single was Connor's second Swiss number one, and had entered the chart back in November 2004. However, a slump in sales following the rush for Christmas number one had allowed Connor to climb from No. 2 and take the accolade. The first album chart number one of the year was Robbie Williams' Greatest Hits.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Nu Pagadi's "Sweetest Poison" replaced Sarah Connor at the number one spot on January 9, having entered at No. 5 the week before. The January 9 also saw no new entries in the Top 55 of the singles chart, with the highest being Global Deejays' post-Christmas offering at No. 56.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
The MusicStars, a collaboration of participants from the reality television series of the same name, achieved the first of two number ones on January 30 with "Friends Forever". Meanwhile, in the album chart, Green Day made number one with American Idiot.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
February 6 saw Schnappi's "Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil" climb to number one. The single featured a young German child singing about a small crocodile. The music video accompanying the song also featured a small crocodile on an adventure around the world. The single was immensely popular through its novelty value, and after making it to number one would stay there for another month.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
February also saw number one albums from Lovebugs and DJ Bobo, the latter having had huge success across Europe since the mid-1990s. Schnappi lost the top spot in the singles chart on March 13 to the MusicStars 'he' had taken it from, only to take it back the following week. The run at number one finally ended on April 10, after eight weeks total at the top spot. 50 Cent and Olivia's "Candy Shop" took over the spot, having a similarly long six-week run at number one.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Unlike the singles chart, the album chart had been a revolving door throughout March and early April, with several artists making number one, only to drop down the chart a week later. On April 17 DJ Antoine's The Black Album made number one. The album would stay there for two weeks, and was Antoine's fifth top ten album.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Salome Clausen dethroned 50 Cent on May 15. The MusicStars contestant's debut single "Gumpu" would be the song to do it, staying at number one until June 5, when the internationally successful Akon's "Lonely" took the spot off her. Including the MusicStars releases, Salome had already been, by the end of the first half of 2005, at number one three times.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Meanwhile, on May 21, Vanilla Ninja represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The group comfortably made it through the May 19 semi-finals, and eventually finished 8th in the contest, despite leading at several points during the competition. The girl group had before the contest had success across Central Europe, having been born in Estonia. The 8th place was a huge boost for Switzerland in the Eurovision, with it becoming their best placing since 1993 (see ESC1993). The song the girls performed, "Cool Vibes", was released on June 12. Despite the publicity of competing in the contest, and the controversy of not being Swiss and having a member who had just turned 16 (Triinu Kivilaan), the single only made it to a peak of No. 17 in the charts.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Although Bruce Springsteen's Devils and Dust brought some stability to the top of the album chart throughout May, the Top 100 Albums still continued to be quicker-changing than the Top 100 Singles. June saw Gorillaz, The Black Eyed Peas, Gotthard and eventually Coldplay make number one in the album chart. Only the latter, however, would stay there for more than one week. X&Y entered on June 26, and remained at number one until August 7 – A seven-week run not bettered at any time in 2005.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Akon lost the number one spot after his third week at number one, dropping it to the second chart-topping novelty act of the year, the Crazy Frog. Unlike Schnappi, the Crazy Frog had already been made well-known (but not necessarily popular) by its being sold as a ringtone. The single, "Axel F" (a cover of Harold Faltermeyer's 1985 hit), was the debut of the frog and easily passed Akon on July 3. This overtaking move (the Crazy Frog had entered on May 29 at #28) started a run of eleven weeks at number one, ending on September 18. Meanwhile, in the album chart, James Blunt replaced Coldplay at number one on August 14 with his debut Back To Bedlam album.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
September 18 saw the first time since June that both the singles and album chart number ones changed simultaneously. Juanes replaced the Crazy Frog in the singles chart, and the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang replaced James Blunt in the album chart. Both lasted two weeks at the top of their respective charts, the Pussycat Dolls and Busta Rhymes' "Don't Cha" taking the Top 100 Singles top spot on October 2.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
The Pussycat Dolls had already achieved success in the USA, and their debut single also achieved huge popularity in Switzerland. Their run at number one lasted until November, when Melanie C replaced them. Meanwhile, in the album chart, the group Patent Ochsner enjoyed a three-week run in an otherwise inconsistent Autumn 2005 for the album chart.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
The hugely successful Madonna unsurprisingly made number one on November 20, with the release of her return single "Hung Up". A week later she replaced Eros Ramazzotti at the album chart top spot with Confessions on a Dance Floor. Although the album only lasted two weeks at number one, Madonna would see out the remainder of 2005 at the singles top spot, with there being little competition for Christmas number one. In fact, the highest new entry on December 25 was Robbie Williams' "Advertising Space", entering outside of the Top Ten at No. 11.


2005 in Swiss music, Chart summary
Robbie Williams would gain the Christmas Album Top 100 number one, though, with his album Intensive Care topping the chart for a second week.

2005 in film, Evaluation of the year
Renowned American film critic and professor Emanuel Levy stated on his website, "Despite films like “Crash,” which deals with racism in contemporary America, and geopolitical exposes like Syriana  and Munich, the 2005 movie year may go down in film history as the year of sexual diversity." He went on to emphasize, "It's hard to recall a year in which sex, sexuality, and gender have featured so prominently in American films, both mainstream Hollywood and independent cinema.


2005 in film, Evaluation of the year
I am deliberately using the concepts of sexual diversity and sexual orientation, rather than gay-themed movies, because the rather new phenomenon goes beyond homosexuality or lesbianism. For decades, American culture has been both puritanical and hypocritical as far as sexual matters are concerned. Hence, most American movies, such as Spielberg's E.T. and others, have ignored the fact that children have sexual urges, a libido. Compared with European cinema (particularly French and British), there's been discomfort to address directly sexual issues. Things began to change over the past decade, when gay characters became routine in Hollywood movies and TV soaps.


2005 in film, Evaluation of the year
Just witness the popularity of Will and Grace and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and the fact that there are specifically targeted gay cable channels." In terms of the graphic portrayal of sex in movies, Levy stated, "In the past, Hollywood was afraid to depict homosexual love on screen (both gay and lesbian). Thirty years ago, audiences were shocked when Peter Finch kissed Murray in Sunday Bloody Sunday. But no more. Though Brokeback Mountain is about repressed sexuality, the movie contains a graphic scene, an anal intercourse between Ennis Del Mar and Jake, never before seen on screen.


2005 in film, Evaluation of the year
In “Transamerica,” a key scene depicts the penis of one of the central characters and fellatio in the car. In History of Violence, two of the strongest scenes involve sex between husband and wife Tom and Edie Stall (played by Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello). As writer-director and actor, Woody Allen has been obsessed with sex, or rather talks about sex, in his films. Yet arguably, he has never portrayed sex in a steamy and alluring way as he does in Match Point.


2005 in film, Evaluation of the year
Just watch the passionate embrace between Scarlett Johnasson  [sic] and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, when they are caught but undeterred by heavy rains, a visual clich in film noir that nonetheless works well for this movie." Levy also stated, "What's encouraging about the new movies is that, with few exceptions, the sexual orientation of the characters is not an issue, and they are not about the traumatic experience of coming out."

2005 saw the release of many sequels and prequels in video games, such as Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, Mario Kart DS, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, alongside several prominent new releases including F.E.A.R., Forza Motorsport, God of War, Guitar Hero, Shadow of the Colossus, and Sniper Elite.


2005 in video games, Trends
In 2005, the total U.S. sales of video game hardware, software and accessories rose 6% over 2004 to $10.5 billion USD ($9.9 billion, 2004) breaking 2002's $10.3 billion record for the industry.


2005 in video games, Trends
The increase is largely due to the portable game market which counterbalanced sluggish console game sales. Delays, hardware shortages, and anticipation of next-generation video game consoles have been cited as reasoning for slow sales for both console games and console hardware. Console games and hardware dropped by 12% and 3% respectively.


2005 in video games, Trends
The portable market of the video game industry rose to $1.4 billion, the second time sales broke the $1 billion mark in the industry's history. Mostly due to the release of the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable in North America, sales for portable hardware rose 96% over 2004. Although the release of the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP aided in spurring growth in the portable market, the Game Boy Advance still represented 62% total portable software units sold and 52% of total portable software dollar sales.

2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans
On Monday, August 29, 2005, there were over 50 failures of the levees and flood walls protecting New Orleans, Louisiana, and its suburbs following passage of Hurricane Katrina and landfall in Mississippi. The levee and flood wall failures caused flooding in 80% of New Orleans and all of St. Bernard Parish. Tens of billions of gallons of water spilled into vast areas of New Orleans, flooding over 100,000 homes and businesses. Responsibility for the design and construction of the levee system belongs to the United States Army Corps of Engineers; the responsibility of maintenance belongs to the local levee boards.

The Corps hands components of the system over to the local levee boards upon completion. When Katrina struck on August 29, 2005, the project was between 60–90% complete. Four major investigations were conducted by civil engineers and other experts in an attempt to identify the underlying reasons for the failure of the federal flood protection system. All concur that the primary cause of the flooding was inadequate design and construction by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Storm surge caused breaches in 20 places on the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal ("MR-GO") in Saint Bernard Parish, flooding the entire parish and the East Bank of Plaquemines Parish.


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Background
The original residents of New Orleans settled on the high ground along the Mississippi River. Later developments eventually extended to nearby Lake Pontchartrain, built upon fill to bring them above the average lake level. Navigable commercial waterways extended from the lake to downtown. After 1940, the state decided to close those waterways following the completion of a new Industrial Canal for waterborne commerce. Closure of the waterways resulted in a drastic lowering of the water table by the city's drainage system, causing some areas to settle by up to 8 feet (2 m) due to the compacting and desiccation of the underlying organic soils.

After the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, United States Congress passed the Flood Control Act of 1928 which authorized the Corps of Engineers to design and construct flood control structures, along with levees, on the Mississippi River to protect populated areas from floods. It also affirmed the principle of local participation in federally funded projects but acknowledged that the $292 million already spent by local interests was sufficient to cover local participatory costs.

It is instructive to note that, in addition, sovereign immunity was given to the Corps of Engineers under Section 3 of the Flood Control Act of 1928, which states “no liability of any kind would attach or rest upon the United States for any damage from or by floods or flood waters at any place, provided that if on any stretch of the banks of the Mississippi River it was impracticable to construct levees.” 33 U.S.C. § 702c. Section 702c is sometimes referred as “Section 3 of the act,” based on where it appears in the Public law.


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Background
Heavy flooding caused by Hurricane Betsy in 1965 brought concerns regarding flooding from hurricanes to the forefront. In response, the Congress passed the  Flood Control Act of 1965 which mandated that henceforth, the Corps of Engineers is the agency responsible for design and construction of flood protection projects, to include those in Greater New Orleans. The local interests' role was maintenance once the projects were complete.


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Background
Also that year, Congress authorized the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project (LPVHPP) which reiterated the principle of local participation in federally funded projects. The project was initially estimated to take 13 years, but when Katrina struck in 2005, almost 40 years later, the project was only 60–90% complete with a revised projected completion date of 2015.


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Background
On August 29, 2005, flood walls and levees catastrophically failed throughout the metro area. Some collapsed well below design thresholds (17th Street and London Canals). Others collapsed after a brief period of overtopping (Industrial Canal) caused scouring or erosion of the earthen levee walls. In April 2007, the American Society of Civil Engineers called the flooding of New Orleans "the worst engineering catastrophe in US History."

Many of the levee and floodwall failures were reported on Monday, August 29, 2005, at various times throughout the day. There were 28 reported failures in the first 24 hours  and over 50 were reported in the ensuing days. A breach in the Industrial Canal, near the St. Bernard/Orleans parish line, occurred at approximately 9:00 a.m. CDT, the day Katrina arrived. Another breach in the Industrial Canal was reported a few minutes later at Tennessee Street, as well as multiple failures in the levee system, and a pump failure in the Lower Ninth Ward, near Florida Avenue.

Local fire officials reported a breach at the 17th Street Canal levee shortly after 9:00 a.m. CDT. An estimated 66% to 75% of the city was now under water. The Duncan and Bonnabel Pumping Stations were also reported to have suffered roof damage, and were non-functional. Breaches at St. Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward were reported at 5:00 p.m. CDT, as well as a breach at the Hayne Blvd. Pumping Station, and another breach along the 17th Street Canal levee. By 8:30 p.m. CDT, all pumping stations in Jefferson and Orleans parishes were reported as non-functional.

At 10:00 pm CDT, a breach of the levee on the west bank of the Industrial Canal was reported, bringing 10 feet (3.0 m) of standing water to the area. At about midnight, a breach in the London Avenue Canal levee was reported.

The Orleans Canal about midway between the 17th Street Canal and the London Avenue Canal, engineered to the same standards, and presumably put under similar stress during the hurricane, survived intact because an incomplete section of floodwall along this canal which allowed water to overtop at that point, thus creating a spill way.

In the ten years following Katrina, over a dozen investigations were conducted. There was no federally ordered independent commission like those ordered after the September 11 terrorist attacks and after the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf. The only federally ordered study was convened and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency responsible for the flood protection's performance. A major independent study was conducted by the University of California at Berkeley. A second major study was sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Transportation led by Ivor van Heerden at Louisiana State University. Studies were also done by FEMA, the insurance industry, the National Research Council, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Katrina Consolidated Lawsuit. All studies basically agreed on the engineering mechanisms of failure.

The primary mechanisms of failure at the 17th Street Canal, London Avenue Canal and Industrial Canal (east side north) were improper design of the canal floodwalls. The failure mechanism for the Industrial Canal (east side south and west side) was overtopping of levees and floodwalls by the storm surge. The primary mechanism of failure for levees protecting eastern New Orleans was the existence of sand in 10% of places instead of thick Louisiana clay. The primary mechanism of failure for the levees protecting St. Bernard Parish was overtopping due to negligent maintenance of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, a navigation channel, built and maintained by the Corps of Engineers.

A June 2007 report by the American Society of Civil Engineers in peer review panel concluded that the flooding in the Lakeview neighborhood (from the 17th Street Canal) and the Gentilly neighborhood (from the London Avenue Canal) was due to two engineering oversights.


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Investigations, Levee investigations
The engineers responsible for the design of the canal levees and the I-walls embedded in them overestimated the soil strength, meaning that the soil strength used in the design calculations was greater than what actually existed under and near the levee during Hurricane Katrina. They made unconservative (i.e., erring toward unsafe) interpretations of the data: the soil below the levee was actually weaker than that used in the I-wall design (ASCE: External Review Panel, pg 48).


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Investigations, Levee investigations
Another critical engineering oversight that led to the failure of the 17th Street Canal involves not taking into account the possibility of a water-filled gap which turned out to be a very important aspect of the failures of the I-walls around New Orleans. “Analysis indicate that, with the presence of a water-filled gap, the factor of safety is about 30 percent lower. Because a factor of safety of 1.3 was used for design, a reduction of 30 percent would reduce the factor of safety to approximately one: a condition of incipient failure.” (ASCE: External Review Panel, pg 51)


2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans, Investigations, Levee investigations
This meant that the design included a safety factor of 30% ("1.3"), and could cope in theory with stresses 30% more than expected, but the error due to the water gap was about 30%, which immediately used up the entire safety margin, leaving no leeway in the design if any other excess stress occurred.
