EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.
Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.
The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.
When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.
Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help."
With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"
Thanks for posting the photo. That's a classic.
Why didn't he drill a hole so the water could drain out?
He drilled TWO holes and it still leaked!
Don't forget the drain plug. You'd be surprised how often that happens.
"Did anyone just see that footage on FNC of Geraldo "rescuing" the old lady and her dog live on camera? I think I'm going to be physically ill..."
Should have watched it all. The old lady and a security guy walked across the lot. Then Fox cut to the downed helicopter (crew injured but alive) then back to Geraldo.
Now here's the sick part. The old lady's dog was very old and having difficulty walking. The security guy didn't notice that the dog had fallen and continued on with the old lady actually dragging the dog along the ground on it's back. Fox quickly cut the shot.
He and the Kalpoe brothers are all out.
""It's a happy day for the Kalpoe family," said David Kock, an attorney for Satish.
At his home later, van der Sloot came out smiling, flung an arm around his father's neck and squeezed his mother's shoulder. He did not address reporters.
"We would like to express our happiness to have Joran back in our lives," said his mother, Anita. "His life has been turned upside down."
She said her family had been the victim of "slander based on rumor and gossip. It is easy to destroy the lives of people, especially through the press."
Van der Sloot's lawyer, Richie Kock, said the teenager would soon be going to university in Holland.
"Joran will be trusted to be on his own in Holland and to do as he pleases," he said. "We do not have a parole system.""
