we have 10000 dead in NO and no reports of anyone getting hit by a sniper. there are hours of footage of firemen and police at a french quarter fire - no snipers.

Guess you missed seeing the shootout in front of the building that was on fire yesterday on FOX.

Mannings aiding New Orleans

*By From wire reports* *September 3, 2005* Peyton and Eli Manning, who grew up in New Orleans, will fly to Baton Rouge, La., today on a plane carrying relief supplies for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The brothers will leave from Indianapolis on a plane sponsored by the PeyBack Foundation. The flight will be carrying 31,000 pounds of nonperishable items including diapers, baby formula, pillows, water and Gatorade that will be delivered to the American Red Cross.

Peyton, the NFL's two-time MVP and former University of Tennessee star, is the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. His brother Eli, the first pick in the 2004 NFL draft, is the quarterback for the New York Giants.

Manning starred at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, and his parents, Archie and Olivia, reside there. Wayne was a standout athlete at John Ehret High School in New Orleans.

"It's hard to hear a whole lot because the communication down there is tough," Peyton Manning told The Indianapolis Star. "It's pretty devastating, the pictures you see and some stories that you hear.

"It's hard to watch, both from the New Orleans standpoint and the friends and relatives we have in Mississippi as well. Our prayers and thoughts are out for them."

Is this the one where the police and fireman stood around while the building burned?

And when a truck came up with wwater and food, a bunch of people crawled out of their holes begging for water and the truck took off?

Is this the one where there were one or two shots from somewhere and no return fire?
