Supplies are being airdropped by HELICOPTER, not transport airplane.

The miltiary has already been on TV and explained why they're STILL not airdropping supplies to NO from C-130s.

Until they can get a LONG WIDE SWATH of dry land to drop on, they can't do it without dropping pallets everywhere, some of which will land on *people*.

See old refs to "bombing and killing people in Afghanistan with supplies".

Now, STFU.
