Looks believable to me..... /sarc
I suspect that story is bogus, the kind of thing one could expect from The Daily Mail. But, bogus or not, the Superdome should not be rebuilt. It should be left as it is as a reminder of the revealed nature of 'The Big Easy.'
Looks believable to me..... /sarc
As I recall the Daily Mail is a UK analog to National Equirer. You know it is not necessarily the Washington Times or even the New York Post, if you check out its homepage. The lead story on 9-11-05 was a bit on tacky superstar weddings.
As far as I can see this is not a paper that will let facts interfer with a good story.
Waiting to see how true this one is.....
they evac the Hospital & supposedly spread to the winds w/ the dead left behind
How in hell is a (foreign) reporter gonna come upon this story ?
&/or Corroborate it w/ folks in scattered locations
...when supposedly they're aren't any communications
OMG! This is so sad. While waiting for Katrina these people should have been airlifted to other hospitals out of harms way.
What was the Mayor thinking? And to think there are some who want to legalize drugs use. Looting would become a way of life for those needing a fix. God help us.
I find this hard to believe. However, if it is true, I would not fault these doctors.
Its a UK tabloid for crying out loud
I wonder if this is but another rumor being passed on in the press.
-Their families believe their confessions are an indictment of the appalling failure of American authorities to help those in desperate need after Hurricane Katrina flooded the city-
OK, here ya go. #1, the families were notified pretty quick, weren't they - how's that possible? #2, Where were said family members while their ill loved one was facing a category 5 heading his or her way? They could've arranged for transport well ahead of time. And #3, if an unnamed doctor killed my Granny without asking me first, the doctor would would suffer my wrath, not "American authorities".
What a stinking crock of you-know-what.
More than one William McQueen in Abita Springs??? Utility manager same as 'maintain the grounds'?
BBC 9/6/05 re: Missing Brits
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4220656.stm
Mother-of-two Suzanne McQueen, of Maidstone, Kent, is waiting for news of her American husband (William) Forest McQueen.
He has been working in his home country since 1997, and lives and works with his brother in the Abita Springs area, north of Lake Pontchartrain, which is north of New Orleans.
The couple married in the UK in 1991, and Suzanne said she and her daughters - aged 11 and 13 - were planning to move to the US to join her husband as soon as was possible.
Mr McQueen's wife has had no news from his friends and family
Part of his job there is to maintain the grounds of an old plantation house, she said.
"I phoned the morning the hurricane hit, and his brother said Forest hadn't been home for the last 24 hours because he'd been on shift clearing up trees and lines from all the wind damage that came before the hurricane. I haven't heard anything since.
"I've been going through a list of phone numbers for friends and family in the area and can't get through to anyone.
"Up until yesterday or the day before I thought everything would be okay and that they hadn't been in touch because the power was down. But I've since seen more information about the amount of wind destruction there.
"I am getting very concerned. I am trying to contact people from work so the girls don't know how worried I am."
If this was true the media would have jumped all over it by now
Aren't we all. It's a shame this "doctor" didn't set up a suicide stand right inside the Superdome. She could have "ended the suffering" of hundreds of those miserable evacuees right then and there. As a matter of fact, she could probably still save millions of dollars in reconstruction costs by bringing her perverted form of "dignity" to the remaining survivors. "Humanitarians" like her could even become a part of every disaster relief plan.
True or not, the Mail prob doesn't really care. Many on this forum might be shocked at how anti-American the British press is, starting with that miserable socialist propaganda machine, the BBC, who run hit pieces on Bush and the USA on a daily basis (and love-ins for Chavez).
I consider Tony Blair to be a loyal ally in the war on terror. As for Britain in general, from this point on, it's a question mark.
I truly find this very very very hard to believe.
It makes no sense.
If this woman actually did this then in my eyes she committed a crime.
The Daily Mail is not known for telling anything close to the truth.
I wonder why the term "Superdome Euthanasia" is used, when the article implies that this took place in a hospital. I'm chalking this up to British Tabloidism for now.
"The Mail on Sunday is protecting the identities of the medical staff concerned to prevent them being made scapegoats for the events of last week. "
THat's 'cuz it's all fabrication......
Bullcrap. Only one named source...telling his folks they had to "put down" the patients...sounds like fiction for pay.
