AP - 19 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS - Fights and fires broke out, corpses lay out in the open, and rescue helicopters and law enforcement officers were shot at as flooded-out New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday. "This is a desperate SOS," the mayor said. Anger mounted across the ruined city, with thousands of storm victims increasingly hungry, desperate and tired of waiting for buses to take them out. "We are out here like pure animals. We don't have help," the Rev. Issac Clark, 68, said outside the New Orleans Convention Center, where corpses lay in the open and he and other evacuees complained that they were dropped off and given nothing — no food, no water, no medicine.

CNN reporter verifies this seems to be accurate except he isn't sure about the rapes.

1. WWLTV just reported that food & water are being taken to the center

Apparently the New Orleans Center is connected to the Superdome by a giant walkway. Can anyone confirm?

2. New Orleans Center is not the Convention Center

it's a shopping center across from the Dome. The Convention Center is many blocks away, right by the river (i.e. not flooded yet).

4. Chertoff denied this was happening

in an interview I heard today. I kept yelling at the radio - WATCH THE EFFEN TV, YOU'LL SEE ITS HAPPENING. In an update, they said Chertoff contacted them later and said he now had reports of this situation
