I think all the media's have choppers down there, to film & also transport their employees around.
During some of the Coast Guard rescues were taking place I remember a reporter telling the cameraman "zoom in" & then explained air space was restricted during the rescues.
Also this I 10 overpass connects to 90 west to Houma (40 miles).
You make some good points in an earlier live thread since locked.
But the advantage of showcasing their failures with a mid-term election next year is, well...Roveish.
President Bush will come out just fine on this. He's Superman.
So it connected to 90? Very interesting!
