Thanks for posting this.
I saw yesterday a message for help through a third party via MSNBC from Charity hospital. They said Tulane Med Cntr had been evacuated but the patients and staff at Charity, which I understand is a state hospital, are still there.
It sounded like they were in dire straights. I just don't understand why or how this could happen. This country should be able to get hundred if not thousands of troops or whatever is necessary in there to get people out NOW. [actually 2 days ago]
If the people near the Dome are shooting at choppers then surround them and leave them there. Go help the people who are the worst off and I would venture a guess those are the ones in the hospital!!!
This whole incident scares me because I can see our country is not ready to handle anything of this magnitude. New Orleans screwed up by not getting more guard in there immediately. Their own police were in Walmart looting for gosh sake. What if there is another emergency somewhere else in the country, what then?
One more question. If the city is completely evacuated then who is the lucky city to get the looters?? Where will they end up?
What if 7 cities larger than NO were attacked at the same time with dirty bombs?
FEMA and Homeland Sec Dept would be useless. It would be every man (and woman) for himself (herself).
