Fox reporting firefighters being held hostage.
last night a Salvation Army person said he had quite a few employees in a building that they couldn't get out and they were dying.


I can't recall how many but it seems like it was over 100.

Gotta have air to run . . . lots of air. . . and some place to send the exhaust that doesn't create a lot of back pressure. In non-flood prone areas they are generally on or near the loading dock because there's usually good air circulation there.

I think in a flood zone you simply have to do the extra structural and HVAC engineering and put them up out of reach of the water. But that is very expensive . . . "pay me now or pay me later."

Not a replay. It is live.

Thanks so much,

I'm going to email this to each of my local news stations and have them inform their viewers just what martial law means to the people of NO.

In following these many threads, I know Nagin declared martial law earlier this week. Tuesday maybe? It was well before the criminals in jail were let free because by law they couldn't be kept under inhumane conditions. So they shouldn't have been set free because under martial law citizens have no civil rights. Nagin, by himself, bears responsibility for letting convicted criminals loose on NO.
Correct?

But then I thought I read that Nagin rescinded the martial law order. So, martial law has been reinstated?

I'm confused. I need help with the martial law time line for the whole week. I want Nagin held responsible for loosing convicted criminals on his suffering citizens.

Chrissy might get a written warning from MSNBC for that remark.

the locals/state have been out of the loop since the moment this started. this is one of the major problems, FEMA was not designed to to come into an anarchist situation - no police, no command structure, police fleeing their posts, moonbat mayors and governors, etc.

This will soon be called "The Gulf War" III.

Different "Gulf", this time.

Is that LA's worthless govnr that keeps choking up?

[don-o]

Can you make a number of how many still need to be moved out? Just asking because I have not been on line much today, and must soon get off. I'm going to take my Mama out for supper tonight.

Did Blanco just try to correct the president??? I didn't catch all of it.

[ican'tbelieveit]

The President was engaged before the storm hit. Again, you are falling victim to media cover up. The President called the leadership in the to be affected states. States of emergency were declared before the storm hit. The Gov of LA admitted the President called her to have a mandatory evacuation of NO. You can't be more engaged than that.

[LadyBuzz]

what the hell did he say now?

[Jrabbit]

More than some here who think President Bush was a day late and a dollar short.
