Miss Marple, I think you may be on to something. They are trying to get people out. The last thing they need is an influx of grieving people looking for the remains of loved ones.
That being said, I have always taken umbrage to MSM not reporting something to the public for fear we cannot handle it.
Now, if they would apply the same standards to the war in Iraq, I would be happy. Inflame the enemy, protect the sheeple. Go figure.
We have heard much about NO. Orlando "Swing the camera over there, Ted" and others have done a great job in other places.
I may have missed this, but has there been anything released regarding the number of missing persons as reported by loved ones?
Not that I have seen!
I can't imagine that at this point they could do anything but pull a number out of a hat. Too much confusion and turmoil.
