the SuperDome is surrouded by water msnbc

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. they are giving aerial views of NO

[rodeodance]

2. the Dome itself is not flouded but that is cause it is 20 ft higher than

buildings surrounding them. but look. all streets are covered.

[rodeodance]

3. also said that Bush is to go to Washington to 'handle relief efforts"

[rodeodance]

5. they said he 'cutting his vacation short"

[etherealtruth]

6. Short ... (?)

[rodeodance]

11. recall it was for 5 weeks. not scheduled back till after labor day

[rateyes]

12. Yeah, "short?"

by ONE STINKING DAY! And, IMHO, he's been on vacation since he took office. "Give me a speech to read about what you all are doing, so I can go on TV and PRETEND to care about those people." And, all the damned freepers who are saying: "It's their own fault"--what are you going to say when disaster strikes you and your family? Jackasses.

[melissinha]

7. by 1 day

could he have done that on Saturday when we knew all this was going to happen? NOOOOO.. Its like his lame response to the Tsunami, it took tons of other world leaders and Clinton to do it it first and for him to digest his Christmas Turkey.

[rateyes]

17. OMG, he has to cut a 5 week vacation short by 1 stinking day..

boooohoooooo, we should all feel so damned sorry for him, shouldn't we? I still say that it would have been easier to get the people who are in the Superdome out of Dodge before it happened, instead of having to wait weeks for the flood-waters to recede. But, of course, most of those poor folk probably vote for Democrats. (sarcasm)---if it had been rich campaign donors stuck down there....I'm just sayin'.

[fishwax]

38. gee george, don't put yourself out or anything

:eyes:

[Stephanie]

41. oh good lord - did they say that?

It was scheduled to end this weekend. Just incredible.

[shraby]

14. Personally, I'd rest easier if he didn't get

his fingers in the pie. He'll probably screw things up.

[rodeodance]

16. His coming back is all image. He is in trouble and his advisors

finally recognized it.

[rateyes]

19. Yeah, they probably see this disaster...

as a "gift from God" for their political fortunes! YUK.

[rodeodance]

22. photo-op time!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. His fingers will be in the 'pie' alright!

He anticipating another 'trifecta', I'm sure.

[rodeodance]

31. well, he had cake yesterday. time for pie now.

[geomon666]

4. And the water is rising

from the levee breach.

[rodeodance]

8. yes, it really was just 'all over.

[rodeodance]

10. some houses only the tips of roofs sticking our. But I was suprized about

the Dome.

[Oreo]

9. Somebody on Morning Sedition said it's only 1 Foot above

Don't believe the 20 foot thing as gospel. According to the show, somebody was out measuring yesterday and it was only a foot above.

This ties into the head of the SuperDome who on several different interviews wouldn't comment if the Dome could withstand the hurricane.

[rodeodance]

15. the streets surrrounding the Dome are covered with water.

[demnan]

13. If there is a God

may he/she help those people in that SuperDome. They are trapped!

[rodeodance]

18. they will be talking about an already overstretched Nat. Guard having

to take on this task now.---after the commercial.

[rodeodance]

20. some shots from inside the dome. the people are in the seats--do not

seem to be allowed on the field.

[rodeodance]

21. soemone saying people should consider joining the national guard.

"somebody about a guy in camaflauge in a Humvee" good god!!

[rodeodance]

23. helicopters taking off from the Dome. Patients are still being brought

to the Dome (evacuees from the hospitals).

[rodeodance]

24. newscaster standing on Hwy 10 above the water.

[rodeodance]

26. well, they are allready unless they want to raid thru water to go some-

place. but where.

they are stuck there for now.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. here is a LIVE streaming feed to WDSU.....

http://www.wdsu.com/video/4909353/detail.html

[rodeodance]

28. like it--surfing the canal?

[fishwax]

40. weird--that link sent me to a Bob Stoops press conference

It says WDSU, but it's showing the head football coach at the University of Oklahoma giving his press conference :shrug:

On edit: Okay, I've skipped ahead to the next video and now I've got the nola coverage. Thanks for the link :)

[DoYouEverWonder]

29. This so sucks

This is why on Sunday I was yelling on this board that they should have been sending in city buses to drive all those people lined up at the Superdome out of the city. That the Superdome was not a safe place to be even if the building survived the storm. The streets around the Dome were empty on Sunday it would have been a difficult job but it could have been done. Now we have a real mess that could have been mitigated if not avoided all together.

[rodeodance]

32. out of the city would have been better than cramped in a space like

this.

[DoYouEverWonder]

39. You wouldn't believe

the crap that people spewed just for suggesting this on Sunday. People have no clue what these superstorms are all about. It the wind don't get you then the water will.

[Blue_Roses]

30. this is just horrible

:cry:

[rodeodance]

34. it is all those 20,000 people in the Dome that worries me. close

cramped quarters with toilets not working.

Tempers are going to flair soon.

[Oreo]

33. WDSU describe Dome conditions as miserable

Garbage is overflowing

What happens when these people run out of what little food they brought with them? This is why they searched people for weapons.

Terrible Terrible

[rodeodance]

35. Fema has been providing those military type meals.

[rodeodance]

36. seems like the Dome is the place to be!!

[ohio_liberal]

37. MREs will wear out their welcome real quick

Man, I tried one of those when my brother came back from overseas. They're fucking awful.
