New Orleans, Louisiana is one of the oldest and most important cities in the Southeastern USA. It's situated near the mouth of the Mississippi, one of the great North American rivers. The city was the largest in the Pre-Civil War South, although it was subsequently overtaken by newer cities such as Atlanta. It remains one of the USA's most important cultural cities, the home of some of the USA's best-known churches, its famous Mardi Gras celebration, as well as its almost equally famous Jazz music festival. Its seaport, which stretches for many km/mi along the river, remains one of the largest in the country. And every half-dozen years or so the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, one of the most famous stadiums in the USA, hosts another Super Bowl championship. Here is a collection of the best drone videos from this great city, devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but proving its resilience in the years which followed.

In the second half of March, 2020, New Orleans, Louisiana became one of the USA's Covid-19 pandemic "hotspots". It was generally believed that the annual Mardi Gras celebration in February, in which over a million streamed (unaware) into the Big Easy, contributed to the rapid spread of the disease here. In this drone video by Bumble Bee Productions, you'll see aerial glimpses of the city shot over the course of a month, when increasingly stringent social distancing measures caused outdoor life to be drastically curtailed.

The French Quarter is the "old city" of New Orleans, the heart of the original city built by the French in the 18th century. Much of its architecture is of French origin, although a number of its buildings were constructed after it became US territory following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In this piece by Bumble Bee Productions, you'll get an aerial view of this historic neighborhood along the Mississippi, including some great shots of its most prominent landmark: Jackson Square, which lies on the edge of the French Quarter.

New Orleans' Jackson Square is generally considered the aesthetic heart of the Big Easy. It's situated in the French Quarter, its northern boundary defined by the St. Louis Cathedral. The square was the site of the ceremony marking the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and after the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 it was named after the USA's victorious general Andrew Jackson; the statue of the USA's 7th president came in the 1850's.

Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain isn't actually a true "lake"; it's really a brackish section of Mississippi River estuary. It forms the northern boundary of the city of New Orleans. Lake Pontchartrain covers an enormous area of 1.6k square km (around 600 square mi.) but is quite shallow - its maximum depth is only 20 meters or 65 feet. In this drone video by Bumble Bee Productions, you'll get a bird's eye view of the great lake, which famously overflowed when Hurricane Katrina struck the city in 2005.

New Orleans, Louisiana. The Big Easy. The historic city near the mouth of the Mississippi River saw catastrophic flooding in August, 2005 when the center of Hurricane Katrina passed just southeast of it and caused much of its water-containing infrastructure to fail. To this day many of the buildings flooded in 2005 still sit empty. Always spot-on pilot SFPV explored New Orleans and was able to float through some of those places, taking it all in with his quad and landing him on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in April of 2019.

The city of New Orleans was built on low-lying swampland. One of the implications of this fact runs to how New Orleans deals with its dead: given the wet and often unstable ground conditions, traditional burial techniques don't work here. Rather, for centuries, the city's dead have not been buried but rather interred in above-ground mausoleums. In this drone video by Bumble Bee Productions, you'll get an aerial view of one of the city's famous cemeteries, which have long captured the imagination in both literature and film.

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, Louisiana was without precedent in American history. While the city held up reasonably well from the initial impact of the storm in late August, 2005, its protective system of levees failed catastrophically, killing over 1,000 people and causing over $100 billion in property damage. In this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor AirWorthy Tours, you'll get an aerial view of the levee system which was constructed following Katrina to prevent a recurrence of the disaster.

Bumble Bee Productions brings us this excellent drone video of important American historical site in New Orleans, Louisiana: the Chalmette National Cemetary. Located in its namesake town just east of the Big Easy, the cemetery lies adjacent to the site of the Battle of New Orleans, the last of the War of 1812 between the USA and Great Britain. The bloody battle occurred when a British force, not having yet received word that the war had been concluded with a treaty signed in Belgium, unsuccessfully attacked US forces in January, 1815.

Among the permanent casualties in New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina is the former Six Flags Amusement Park. Situated in New Orleans East, the park opened on a 140 acre site in 2002. It has been closed since the historic storm and subsequent flooding devastated the city in August, 2005. In the mean time, it's been used to film a number of feature movies and TV shows, most famously the 2015 sci-fi blockbuster Jurassic World. You can see this eery reminder of pre-Katrina New Orleans in this drone video by Bumble Bee Productions.

On October 12, 2019, the Hard Rock Hotel construction site in New Orleans, Louisiana experienced a catastrophic collapse, killing three workers and injuring dozens. Continued structural instability and the attendant danger of further collapse also hindered efforts to retrieve the bodies, two of which had not been recovered even months later. In this drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Bumble Bee Productions, you will get an aerial view of the site, which lies on the outskirts of the French Quarter.

AirVuz contributor and pilot Oldentimes brings us this rather haunting video of New Orleans, Louisiana during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020. The Big Easy emerged as an early "hot spot" during the first part of the crisis, and it was believed that the February Mardi Gras celebration contributed to the rapid spread of the virus in March. The video will take you around the city during this scary time, showing the empty streets of the French Quarter, Marigny, Audubon Park, Uptown and Mid City.

Content creator and drone pilot LightandDrawing created this amazing aerial view of Bourbon Street, the most well known thoroughfare in New Orleans, Louisiana. It forms the heart of the French Quarter, the historical district of the Big Easy along the Mississippi River. The French Quarter figures prominently in the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die, the ninth in the series and the first to star Roger Moore as Agent 007. An important scene in the film was shot on Chartres Street, just two blocks from Bourbon.

As it passes through the city of New Orleans, Louisiana on its way to the Gulf of Mexico, the mighty Mississippi River makes a sharp right turn. The landform created by this turn is known as Algiers Point, and it's just east and opposite the river from the French Quarter, the historical core of this historic city. Several decades ago, the neighborhood around the point began being called the Algiers Point neightborhood. You can check it out from above in this drone video by Bumble Bee Productions.
