I dont think it's happening all over. Yea , I heard shots were fired at a helicoptor at one location.I don't think that's the norn . Still doesnt make sense to me . It's not an island way the hell out in the middle of nowhere. NO is on the US mainland . After 4 days they cant organize a massive airlift by helicoptor? Ther emust be thousands of helicoptors, small craft , al sorts of vehicles and boat that can be used. This whole rescue operation is sounding like a farce of historic proportions.
There have been articles on FR and it's been on Fox that the police and rescuers have been repeatedly fired on.
There must be thousands of helicoptors, small craft , al sorts of vehicles and boat that can be used.
They'd still have to get them there. And right now, it's not safe in NO. Reporters are saying they hear guns. It's not isolated.
Fuel space and time,
There is a limited amount of fuel in place, a limited amount of space to land at and our largest helicopters can't carry any more then a bus load of people.
By the weekend the really big ones will be off the coast on Navy ships full of supplies. They left Norfolk Virgina as soon as they were fully loaded and are steaming at full speed towards New Orleans.
Now when you figure out how to airlift an aircraft carrier around the world or from Norfolk to New Orleans in a few hours let us all know.
I forgot to tell you that Charity Hospital is surrounded by armed thugs. They said about 100. The head of one of the hospitals was on O'Reilly and he said they've been stormed by armed bands several times. It is chaos there.
