Mission of Mercy: Gore brings storm victims to home state

They were tired, weary and gracious.

Some needed medical care, and others simply wanted a shower. Many were elderly and fragile.

Rob Webb, director of Rural/Metro Ambulance Service in Blount County, said hospital patients and evacuees flown into Knoxville from New Orleans Saturday showed their gratitude as they left the plane.

``I welcomed them to Tennessee, told them they were going to be taken care of in a nice hospital,'' Webb said.

An American Airlines plane arrived at McGhee Tyson Airport at 3:10 p.m. Saturday with about 130 people from New Orleans.

Former Vice President Al Gore was on the plane, helping patients. He did not grant interviews to reporters Saturday.

``My understanding was that he made this happen, that he actually arranged for this aircraft,'' Webb said.

8. Yep!

Good ol Al showing what a real Volunteer is all about! He does us proud! From Davy Crockett to Al Gore! I love my state! He was here in Chattanooga Sunday bringing people. I think the whole state has been so wonderful with helping.

3. I haven't seen Al's face on TV... and it SHOULD be there.

What I am sick of seeing is Bar and Poppy Bush, shilling for dimson.

9. Fox had a small thing

I have a video of that. It was a couple of minutes thing and this reporter was on there saying she saw Gore and then she made the claim no other reporters were around and how it was an exclusive. He made no comment to any media.

12. I have an idea that there would have been room on Air Force 1

for at least one victim.
