CNN's Chris Lawrence: "People are dying...living like animals"

[Neecy]

He's at the Convention Center and is completely going off - saw a man die of a seizure right in front of him...thousands living in filth - no help, dead bodies.

And CNN runs a banner saying the Governor is "furious" over "lawlessness". Fuck CNN! Don't they even GET IT?????

1. Dead elderly woman's body in wheelchair...*animals* evacuated at airport

Her wheelchair pushed up against the wall, covered with a sheet...

Earlier a reporter said a baby died at at the convention center, also.

From another CNN (?) report:
Tourists at local hotels have made it out of NO via busses gotten for them by the hotel services. Reporter described definite class divide going on...locals being left behind while "tourists" and out of towners being taken off to safety.

For nearly three days, not a single plane landed at the airport. Hundreds of travelers were bused to Baton Rouge, but more than 100 remained marooned at the airport, along with airline employees. Food was running short, and they were told not to drink the water.

Their ordeal ended when American Airlines landed a Boeing 757 on the lone usable runway and taxied to the terminal Tuesday. "We were so glad to see that plane come in," Proulx said.

Proulx and eight other American employees, plus several from other airlines and dozens of stranded passengers, boarded the plane, nearly filling its 188 seats, according to officials with the Fort Worth-based airline.

The plane took on workers from American, US Airways and Northwest Airlines and passengers who had originally booked flights on American, Southwest and US Airways, Del Valle said. Some brought pets. "The airplane looked a bit like Noah's ark," he said. "We had a lot of dogs and cats, a ferret, a parakeet and a squirrel."
