Actualy, he sounds so desperate and angry that he DOES sound like he's starting to lose it. Like he's going to give himself a stroke and be no good to anyone. He needs to put on a calmer facade for the public.

This is so very true. A couple days ago, some took President Bush to task for not being more emotional. I strongly disagreed about that, for the very reasons that you mention here, and the mayor is demonstrating. This is the time to be as businesslike as possible, as dispassionate as possible... we know this tragedy is affecting all of those involved in trying to get the situation under control.
I would wager that more than a couple rescue workers will die because they push too hard because of that.
