[QuettaKid]

14. FWIW...

I am listening to it now at 8:12 a.m. EST and there does not appear to be the sounds of panic in anyone's voices

[annabanana]

15. small fire, maybe

but why would they call for guns?

[all.of.me]

17. cuz they're scared. they don't know how to deal with any of this

so shooting out their frustrations seems appropriate. of course, it's not, but try and tell them that. my prayers are with everyone.

[annabanana]

16. what are they saying?

[Mizmoon]

18. Nothing on CNN about it n/t

[warrior1]

19. lost the feed

any word? Nothing on tv.

[annabanana]

20. we were getting info from a police scanner

not Crappy No News

[warrior1]

21. me too

but it must be over loaded.

[blackcatpgh]

22. i got it here

they're saying that they are worried about the crowd rioting, and that some of the buses that were sent had separated from the convoy and couldn't find their way to the superdome.

[annabanana]

23. keep posting..

any news about the fire?

[blackcatpgh]

24. not really

they're talking about getting as many buses as possible. sound like they're trying to get as many people out as possible before it turns ugly.

[blackcatpgh]

25. opening gate A

to let people out, and setting up troops in a perimiter. i'm not trying to be dramatic, that's what they just said.

[Mizmoon]

26. "Reports of a National Guardsman shot" per CNN

then they went to commercial ...

[Lochloosa]

27. Fire is under control but they are worried about getting the

Firemen out. Saying the parimeter will not hold....
