Astonishing Exclusive From Mississippi [hundreds if not thousands dead]
Paramedic Rescue Operation | 8-31-05 | My Favorite Headache

Posted on 08/30/2005 10:10:45 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

It is with heavy heart I write this...

I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.

He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.

Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.

They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.

The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.

The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.

More to follow....

"Please explain how "debris" equals human bodies?"



I believe DJ meant that there's so much debris on the beaches that the bodies there would NOT be in plain sight (they are covered by the debris).

MFH - thank you for the information you've provided. This may be the first time in FR history that the MSM gets greater credibility than eyewitnesses...

Will you allow me the same pleasure when your doomsday prophecy doesn't come to fruition?

I think you won't be anywhere to be found.

Kind of fits with police station being attacked by two people with automatic weapons last night. Yep, sorry but that did happen.

There is nothing wrong with black helicopters. They are Special Operations helos and manned by some of the finest Americans you could ever hope to know.


I did some work for these people and they are Apple Pie, mom and Chevrolet guys who will/have give(n) their lives to defend this Constitution.

"Banning news helicopters.." Perhaps in some areas, but an R44 from WLBT showed a lot of beachfront video from the Gulfport/Biloxi area. Viewable at wlbt.com, also seen on MSNBC.

If you check most of the footage from reporters, you will notice they haven't gone much over a few 100 yards from where they were reporting from two days ago.

Are we talking about New Orleans or Iraq?

Is that too much sarcasm about the media?

I'd say this report is entirely consistent with an estimate of thousands of deaths.

I agree. There is, apparently, hardly anything standing from Slidell through Biloxi. Only one third evacuated. The storm surge went two to three miles inland. I'm from the area and I believe the report. The death toll is going to be staggering, I'm afraid.

Yes, it does.

I'm not sure what GWB wants, unless it is video from temp morgues and .jpg files of bodies in rubble. I'm sure ogrish.com will have plenty of that in a few weeks. There are a few more pressing needs at the moment.

You have all the credibility of a boiled turnip.

I'm not worried about Hewitt. I think it's sad that this site is kook central with you ready with your baton to lead the parade.

"I pray you wake up while you still have a chance to do so."

The god of "secret bible codes / numerology" that you pray to is much too impotent to be able to carry out your threats.

You, and the nut-case, incompetent "Bible interpreters" you follow, deserve calculated contempt

That's why you're getting it.

Reports like this today are tending to substantiate what MFH's friend said on the phone.

Mississippi search crews pulling bodies from rubble

Who knows what the final tally will be? Will it be thousands? Possibly. It is clear at this point that it will be many hundreds. Sadly, tragically, I expect it to go higher.

BTW, MFH, I forwarded your post on this thread to my email list.

Members of the Biloxi fire department work to carry one of six bodies recovered from a destroyed East Biloxi, Miss. neighborhood.
