Live now: reporter telling NG and LA EOC heads that there are dead bodies

[CottonBear]

being shown on CNN and why aren't they being helped? Why are they starving and dying of thirst.

EOC guy looked surprised about bodies.

EOC Head says he didn't know about any major security problems at the hospitals. :wtf:

Blanco saying that hospital evaluation is a priority for today.

US Army General has asked Blanco to tell media and radio to STOP saying that there is shooting and rioting in the Superdome because he says there isn't and it is panicing people.

1. Kira has said dead bodies on the street over and over all day!

[CottonBear]

3. The US Army General says not to talk about shooting and rioting.

Blanco says she knows about bodies but that "situation is so difficault the count may be in the 1,000s...FEMA has brought in a morgue...but NO BODIES received yet...trying to save the living."

Q. "Baton Rouge is being deluged with refugees (security problems there.)

:scared:

2. How is it that we know what is happening and these organizations don't?

[spuddonna]

6. Obviously they aren't connected to the Internet...

So many people calling for help via 'Net, not being addressed...

[CottonBear]

8. A doctor from a hospital got online somehow and contacted the Superdome

to get information and help. The Superdome people didn't know about the hospital situation.

[halobeam]

7. There is no communication between these people.

The media, the police, the fire-fighters, FEMA, NG, the governor, the WH, the citizens, the large buildings with hundreds of people, etc.

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Classic.

Yeah, everything changed after 9/11.... such bull. The only thing I see that is different is that the first responders were actually ALL there during 9.11.

[CottonBear]

9. This is tragic. People are dying. Police cheif says riots are "rumours."

Reporters say more murders in the last three days than all murders in one year. Police deny the report.
:scared:

[spuddonna]

4. You know what? I've watched this and you can realize

that either 1) The Gov. was told 'you need to PR this better, it sounds too bad', 2) they have no idea about so much of what is happening...

The Mayor just sent out an SOS, but the GOV & these people are spouting a 'everything is under control', when the local stations are showing that people are trapped, there's a hospice where the workers were told 'we'll take the hospice patients, but your staff of 40 people are ON THEIR OWN'

wtf

[CottonBear]

5. We are witnessing anarchy, chaos and the breakdown of civil society.

Blanco just said "we need to watch our rhetoric."

[leftchick]

10. she said that?

well she has lost all of my respect.

[Eloriel]

11. BLANCO SAID THAT???

That's strikes me as something SHE's been told.

[CottonBear]

12. She just said she talked to * before storm and feds doing all they can

I call BULLSHIT. * is cracking down on the Gov and Police and emergency people.

The mayor is on his own.

Now police denying security problems in Baton Rouge.
