I kept looking up thinking surely it wasn't really live...the anchor was ticking me off b/c I thought he wasn't paying attention to what she was saying b/c of some of the questions, but now that I think about it, I suspect he was just stunned and thought he was hearing wrong, too.
Very frightening...
Especially disconcerting b/c if she's correct, it sure doesn't seem like it's very 'common knowledge' about what's happening (or at least non of the other media I can find have mentioned that or are even live...but perhaps something more local is)...makes me think that it may get even worse b/c everyone's 'in the dark' about what's up...and if it's happening this quickly, it may be too late to do much for those still in the area.
And what's strange is now after commercial break on CNN Rick Sanchez is going on to another topic!
Surely two hospitals air lifting patients and white caps on Canal deserve more time! Why change topics? Frustrating.....

I just posted this on another thread:
Rick Sanchez is a nice guy but not the brightest bulb in the pack. For a minute there I thought he got the significant importance of what the lady at the hospital said, but he didn't. First, he had her repeat everything she said to him over and over, like it wasn't sinking into his brain. Then he gets a really big story out of her (the break in the levee) and blows it by not following up on it. Geez, all of downtown NO could flood through this break. A 2 block break is a very very big concern. Doesn't Canal Street go down to very near the French Quarter? She said the water was streaming down the street. Once there is a breach in a levee holding back a massive lake, I would think this would have every potential to be disastrous. Wish CNN would get a brighter talking head on real fast. But that's probably asking too much at this hour.
