Sorry to say, but GS, I doubt any house a half mile from the beach would still be standing.

Hey, guys thought id give a little information on the subject. I live a little ways west of all this in Houston, Texas, and today we got 500 Buses of people from New Orleans to come and stay in our old baseball stadium the Astrodome. Tons of our hotels are full and i am seeing people from other states in my school now, and they will be there from the rest of the year I'm guessing. Churches, community centers, and just the people in general are sheltering people who need it. As Im sure some of you know New Orleans is 7 feet below sea level with no sea wall, just ancient levies made out of dirt to protect. So at this point in time there is nothing to call New Orleans. The disaster really hurts me because i am seeing thousands of people in my home city with no homes or anyplace to go. Gas here now is absolutely ridiculous 3.00 a gallon, and won't be going down anytime soon.

My greatest condolences go out to anyone that has lost any love ones or is effected by this horrible thing. I love going to Louisiana great people, great food, and a great party place. All the new people at my school we be getting help by the community so that is a small victory. To all the other states hit i wish them nothing but the best, and i hope everyone will eventually get to go home.

gas is around 6 bucks in europe lets stop whining at nobody and start whining to officials about public transportation.

There are still tens of thousands of ppl in New Orleans stranded over there without food or water (it's been 4 days already).

But up to 60,000 could still be stranded in the city, the US coastguard says.

You would expect to see these scenes at the poorest of nations, not the richest

President Bush has admitted that the initial response was "not acceptable".

the head of the New Orleans emergency operations described the relief effort as a national disgrace.

And Mayor Ray Nagin has angrily denounced the level of outside help the city has received. "People are dying here," he said.

Be angry and outraged by this, not the freaking price of gas.

[:MoD:Shade]

It is so rediculous.

We live in America and have people STARVING on their rooftops and we aren't doing a thing!

Where is the aid here? - you can't tell me we can't give these people WATER and FOOD - just the basic necesities of life?!

They tell them to collect in the stadium yet they aren't doing fuck all to help them.

new orleans was always in danger people were warned waaaay before this hurricane, it was inevitable. they should have had an evac/rescue plan lined up ready to go, especially recently with all the hurricanes hitting florida.

All the rich white folkes left in advance cause they had the money leave.
80% of the people still there come from poor black communities.
Maybe a reason why help is so slow ?

We can invade and capture Baghdad in 3 days, but we can't evacuate New Orleans in 4.....

[bronto]

2 previous posts sum it up quite nicely. president bush goes and publicly congratulates fema even though they obviously don't consider an entire city underwater with tens of thousands of starving people in chaos a top priority.

I have just one question: WHERE THE FUCK ARE OUR LEADERS?

[KGB]

Your precious leader has finaly arrived at the scene, he visited Alabama and is heading for Bilouxi.
Guess which city isn't on his itinerari ....
That is correct New Orleans.
Just saw it on the Dutch News, haven't found a Internet sourse yet.

Shame on you Mr Bush.

The Republican agenda in action.

An interesting interview with the mayor of New Orleans where he lets rip over the lack of help.

Sixhits, to answer your question, only the mayors were there.  I also agree with Bronto, there should've been a plan to evacuate more people.

I pray for all those still stranded.

The National Guard was ready for this.  It's them who would have  helped out greatly yet nobody sent them in - I'm not sure who's job it is to make the final word on when to send them in but they should be removed and flogged.

Well I don't think the president gives that order cause the only group he can personally control is the Marines so it's probably some higher up in the Navy ranks.

well to start with the moron shouldn't have turned down the help from the rest of the world - those extra helicopters, food rations, water, etc etc would have saved lives.

Australia pledged more money to help than the U.S. government has given.

The problem is that we had the supplies to help yet the government wouldn't react.  In times like these you can't stop and ponder you just have to do it.  How could Bush rush into Iraq so fast yet not help his own citizens who's deaths could have been easily prevented.

The fact that this is a poor black community has been brought up many times.

Your new colour makes my eyes hurt, Shade, I can barely read it.
