By weekend half the peopl ewill be dead. So you get 50 helicoptors carrying a bus load working round the clock .I really see nothng much happining down there from what I;m reading. Sound like a massive screw up to me. Who said anything about airlifting a carrier ..stop playing cute with me OK ?
Dinkins I remember for the graffitti and the fact that thugs were mugging folks in broad daylight on THE UPPER EAST SIDE!
Its crazy. If you think about it, this is far worse than a terrorist attack.
I recommend you hit Areo on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge. Outstanding, with great service to boot.
Remember "White Night"???
My neighborhood was all Italian/American so we never had any probs if you know what I mean. We had our local lucchese crime family farm team in my hood so things were kept cool in that area.
When was the last time you were back in Morris Park?
Bay Ridge. I've got to say, the Morris Park girls in the Bronx are a lot better than the chicks I saw in Bay Ridge.
Three days ago. My grandmother lives there. They just wrecked the old playground where they would play stickball. They are building a hockey rink. WTF?????
I guess it would be an exercise in futility to try to explain to those folks that they would have been rescued a lot sooner if their homies hadn't been shooting at the rescue workers.
Its amazing when the hollow shell of Civilization is stipped away brother will turn against brother. A sad thing America has become, well in the major cities.
Why is it that so much of your 'we' is really 'them' from my perspective? I ask gov. to shrink, back off, let go, pull back and quit taking my money. Are 'we' going to get that?
I saw one homie steal a piano, rip the top off, and use it like a shopping cart for all the stolen booty. I laughed my butt off. If these people could just use such ingenuity in legitimate things????
You have forsaken yourselves. Shut the hell up and pitch in. Stop standing around with your hand out, stop wrecking the only distribution system that can ever serve you, and help for a change. What whiners.
Why do you think Section 8 Housing gets destroyed overnight??????
THIS is what results from a cradle to grave mentality.
I just read your profile -- you've got what it takes! Why not volunteer to help out a local Scout troop -- you'll be amazed at what the boys (and their leaders) can teach you! '-)
FWIW, survival is mostly an attitutde: "I ain't gonna sit down and die. Now, what is there around here I can use to help me stay alive?"
Example: I'm not from the Bronx, and I never considered urban survival before -- but it wasn't hard to imagine what's in a city...and realize that every toilet has a flush tank full of clean water...
Good luck!
Wankers....
The amount of fuel you'd need to execute such an airlift is staggering and isn't on hand or isn't usable in New Orleans.
Fuel must be clean of water or else the Helo will crash.
The supply at the airports are probibly bad. there fore you have to fly more in or use what is on a ship, those ships are on the way they can't get there any faster then they are going.
And just so you know Helicopters fly in short hops of about 100 to 200 miles depending on fuel and load, the heavier the load the shorter the hop the more fuel used.
It sounds like a massive screw up but it is a monumental effort going on to get the right aviation assets into place along with the right supplies for the needs of the city.
Everything will be there by the weekend unless you can figure a better way to get it there faster.
I hope that isn't a "violence" post.
What's left in NO are the project dwellers and section 8'ers. That's why I am NOT surprised at anyone's behavior right now.
