Astonishing Exclusive From Mississippi [hundreds if not thousands dead]

Paramedic Rescue Operation | 8-31-05 | My Favorite Headache

I believe you.--I believe it's happening just as you say.

Good mercy, just watching what's going on in NO right now.....I'd believe anything!

This is just surreal!....Beyond surreal!

Hey I didn't know this. Is it actually true that W told them to evacuate before their own officials?

All I know is that the very first FR thread announcing the evacuation asserted that the mayor was busy consulting with lawyers when Bush called. Apparently the local officials were not sure they had the legal authority.

I get sick to death of people choosing death over life.

What is a woman wearing a miniskirt advertising?

What does she expect the response of some crazed men to be?

Is she really wearing a miniskirt so people will notice her personality and job/social skills and IQ?

Give me a break toots.

You are a loon.

Callers in Dothan, Al are able to get through to Biloxi, MS via Southern Linc around 5:00 a.m. At other times when traffic is apparently higher, they are getting a fast busy signal.

I am VERY skeptical of this report. Newspeople have been in those areas in mass and driving about. They are not reporting of thousands of bodies. Somebody has an exageration problem.

agreed....it happens all the time. someone stumbles upon a group of people who were dumb enough to stay on the coast...does some quick math on how many buildings are on the coast and assumes thousands....in reality...only a very few actually stay on the coast with this much warning.

It's about a hearsay report of thousands known to be dead and being collected under official supervision right now.

I believe that's how it's been advertised. The medic apparently believes that there are thousands dead, I hope he is wrong but there is nothing to refute him at this point. The only official information the death toll is officials are reluctant to release it, and in NO they are not even bothering with the dead.

I will also point out that we may never know the exact death toll because dozens if not hundreds were just washed out to sea.

This 'plain view' stuff is part of your misrepresentation of the events. We are talking about, what, 100 miles of coastline, by however many blocks deep the surge went. A couple thousand bodies distributed over that expanse is not going to generate pictures of corpses stacked 5 high or whatever you're visualizing. Secondly, MFH's original post specifically referenced whole families killed inside their homes, i.e., still there, NOT out in plain sight.

They have to be in plain view if so many are up in the trees. More to the point, the original hearsay report was a personal report in my understanding. The EMT/paramedic was relating that he had seen thousands of dead. Not that he had heard this from someone else. But then, if he did, we get into third-hand hearsay accounts and then this isn't Breaking News, it's just a pile of rumors from unidentified sources, posted anonymously.

But your post does underline several of the many inconsistencies and factual problems this account has.

What planet did you just come from? Floating refineries?

We can't get freakin' approval for freakin' refineries on terra firma, fercryingoutloud!

The Bugs and Bunny Crowd has the country by the unmentionables, and their "rent seeking" continues, if anything..

An AF security team stayed at Homstead AFB during Hurricane Andrew...they survived. And the wind gage in the Tower was stuck at 200mph.

How many of the thousands of bodies could you sea from the air when 911 happened? The tsunami?

[RobbyS]

Something proportionate to the numbers who did not leave New Orleans. The advantage was that for the people in Mississippi, that safety lay just a few miles inland.

No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store!"

We live in a fenceless zoo.

Some have been extremely rude.

The rude have been always with us, and FR is no exception.
Just identify those who must always be "right" or have the "final" word and avoid them like the plague.

Eventually they move on to more satisfying sites.

At some point you people have crossed the line from mere stupidity to deliberate deception.

[McGruff]

To quote a great humanitarian, "Let's all take a deep breath".

Eventually all will be known.

You seemed to be hostile toward me because you felt I was perhaps uncharitable in your view of reality.

That seems rather inconsistent, to me.

BTW, I think it's far more charitable to tell someone racing peddle to the metal for hell that they are going the wrong direction.

You can cheer them on their way if you wish.

[txradioguy]

"you people"?


Kinda bigoted don't you think?

[Smogger]

As I already stated. They freely admit it's in the hundreds, and in the next breath say that they are skittish about releasing casualty counts. I mean if they freely admit it's in the hundreds why not just say 300 hundred are so far confirmed dead? I doubt they are skittish about a releasing number like 300, beause people are pretty much anticipating at least that. At anyrate I don't have any first hand knowledge, but reports that "officials are skittish" doesn't sound good.

So, you'd prefer a universe where God did not care at all about our actions?

Where did I say that?

That our actions had no impact on Him at all?

Our only impact on God is causing him grief as all children do to their parents.

If you believe that God causes disasters, I guess you missed the Sunday School lesson about Lucifer being cast down on earth. Don't blame my God for cataclysmic events He didn't cause. The ONLY thing He may do is remove His hand of protection........which He hasn't done yet.
