200 trapped on Ninth Ward rooftops; bodies floating in Bywater, Eastover
http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/WWL082905trapped.6dc737a.html

Mayor Nagin issued a "boil water" recommendation for water in the city - except for Algiers and the CBD due to a water main line break that may have compromised the water.


Nagin said at least 20 buildings in the city had collapsed and that it might be 48 hours before residents would be allowed back to their homes to assess the damage.



JESUS!

2. This report is 24 hours old. I remember seeing this exact report
yesterday about this time of the day. (maybe it is only 20-24 hours old).

3. Can you even begin to imagine what is going
through the minds of these people as they sit on their roofs and watch the dead bodies float by?
