La. to pay Kenyon $119,000 a day for body recovery (Total contract $7.8 M)

[elehhhhna]

7.8 MILLION DOLLARS for a death toll of 650 people? Hmmm. 12K per dead body? Riiiiiiiiiight. That 639K is for one months expenses on a two month contract. Looks like an 8.5 million dollar deal, with a very, very shady company.
