......and not one single peep from the media. How remote is this area where the bodies are being found?
It's too late at night for a major news break; come morning, the news media will be all over this.
He spoke to me for all of 5-10 mins...named off the areas...said it is literally a war zone...like a bomb went off and killed everything in sight...the water came in nearly 2 miles....just took everything in its site.
Winds sustained at 145 at the time it all went to hell per-medic.Everything turned white.
And this is just the kind of thing they've been wanting to report (excuse my cynicism). Frankly, I'm willing to wait for the confirmation of this on Fox or one of the other majors, rather than take the word of an anonymous report.
That was what I was thinking. How could this be happening and no one reporting. We saw bodies stacked with the tidal wave. I knew there was a lot of damage but with what is happening in NO, ...I had no idea.
The Media is not the media anymore, they are the goverment information services.
You are expecting maybe professionalism and competence?
Remember the OJ trial? Amber Fry? Now there's news!
I'm not saying more. I like it here.
How remote is this area where the bodies are being found?
under the present conditions Uptown New Orleans is remote from the SuperDome.
Biloxi/Gulfport/Bay St. Louis are not far from NO at all under normal circumstances, maybe an hour-plus drive .. but if the roads are flooded and bridges collapsed, the only coverage of the areas is from reporters who were there when the storm hit. If you have watched Fox, Anita Vogal has been on I-10, 10 minutes (normally) from downtown NO and she hasn't been able to get there in two days.
Most coverage has been on Biloxi and Gulfport, not BSL, which is actually closer to NO. It was just a sleepy, laid-back, artsy little community, really lovely. We have a friend who lives in BSL and commutes to work in NO, and I am praying to GOD they got out This whole thing just breaks my heart.
