Actually that is not true. The private ambulance services have been going into the city from day one until they said screw it. The buses are driving into the city from the west and back out to Houston. The State and local government BLEW IT AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING WITH THEIR LIVES. Take a city, remove a large part of the law abiding citizens, cut off electricity, water, sewage, effective law enforcement, communications, lighting and let it go for 4 days and this is what you get.
They should have had water, the hospitals secured on day two. As far as the f'ing superdome goes they had to know what would happen if they kept those people there. They locked them in without enough people to control them and people are being raped and killed and starved. It is unforgivable.
They said on Fox that they won't let you in. Only AUTHORISED vehicles are allowed anywhere near NO.
The actual disaster is not the wind or the water. It is the human created disaster.
