2. I have heard that they Hyatt guests, some of them, are doctors

and nurses that were in the Superdome. Maybe they need them to travel with the group, at least that is my happy thought.

3. Well of course, what's wrong with you.....

they are also more important than ....."1:35 P.M. - Xavier University spokesperson: 400 students still trapped at the university. One person is already dead. "

4. Or the dead bodies outside the Superdome

That some authorities don't even want to admit their existence.

7. sorry, but the living, any living

outrank the dead.

[Larissa238]

12. I more of meant

that they were living next to the dead people, in horrible conditions, while the people in the hotel didnt have to deal with anything as horrible as the conditions at the Superdome.

The 700 had been trapped in the Hyatt just like the others, but conditions were considerably cleaner, even without running water, than the unsanitary crush inside the dome.
