No one knows how many were killed by Hurricane Katrina's floods and how many more succumbed waiting to be rescued. But the bodies are everywhere: hidden in attics, floating among the ruined city, crumpled on wheelchairs, abandoned on highways.

And the dying goes on - at the convention center and an airport triage center, where bodies were kept in a refrigerated truck.

8. They'll be back at the convention center

Yes it's been emptied, but I heard that there weren't enough buses and that many would be back tonight.

Still, we got nearly all those people out in just over 24 hours. Why wasn't that done on Tuesday?

The rumors of "anarchy" at the convention center were wildly exaggerated:

These people are dying because they are exhausted, ill, and desperately need food, water, and medical attention.
