It's all very well you fella's slagging off Mike, but the view from down
here in South Africa is similar: Here we have the mightiest nation on earth, whose weather forecasters predicted the hurricane Katrina would hit N. O. at least five days beforehand. Your chief forecaster even said it would hit N.O. with winds of 160 mph and a huge storm flood two days ahead of the event. He described it as being a storm that would exceed anything in recorded weather history. Yet despite these dire warnings nothing was done until AFTER the tragedy Questions I ask? # Why was the National Guard not fully mobilised BEFORE the terrible tragedy? # The mayor asked people to leave the day before, but why was this not made mandatory and every assistance given? # Why were police reserves and rescue services not activated at the first dire warnings several days beforehand? I think it was dxAce who said that no one had ever had a tragedy on such a scale before affecting a city of one million. That is disingenuous - the fact is that the mighty U.S.A. has the biggest and best resources on earth, the best brains, the best technology and logistics, in fact every facility that the best in the world can provide to mitigate and ameliorate such a disaster, yet too little was done too late. I'm sorry fella's, instead of trying to give poor old Mike a stuffing, you should rather ferret out those slimy bureaucrats and politicians who are responsible for this gigantic SNAFU. In the meantime my sincere best wishes to the hard pressed citizens of Louisiana. -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s RX Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods Drake SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D GE SRIII BW XCR 30, Braun T1000, Sangean 818 & 803A.

Well its been 5 days so far, and so far nothing, or at least things are just starting to happen. It should not take 5 days should it. I feel sory for them, I realy do. As for our help, then if Sky news are not lying then Blair has said he will help and why not. You need help from any quarter, because so far Bush has been an inadequate president. See Sky news and listen to the people they are all saying the same thing and that is. "Where is the help, please help us", FACT Ohhhhh dont worry Mr Bush has been on Sky news saying "Be pateint" Its OK for him to say that he isnt in the **** as they are is he. As for the looters some are just that. Others are looting for food and clean water and medicine, I dont blame them they are trying to survive, trying to get to the next say. So go on have a go because I have critisized your all powerfull Mr Bush. He isnt so powerfull in the end is he, 5 days and not alot is happening. Thats a TOTAL disgrace to all you Americans. You all deserve something better than that. Or are ANY of you saying 5 days is OK? How would you feel if you were in the exact same conditions as they are after 5 days would you loot to feed your loved one or partner or starve and not do any thing for your self? (get ready to tell me "**** you") saying that to me WILL NOT alter the facts, no matter how you want to defend My Bush. -- http://uk.geocities.com/swift240/mikes_page_1.html |

(233,100 square kilometers) Here's a story indicating rescuers were having trouble getting to the area: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4199350.stm It was last updated on Wednesday just after noon in the UK - very early morning in the disaster area. It reflects information gathered on Tuesday. Sure it would be nice if we could have gotten enough people and supplies in sooner - but it's not a trivial task. |

Soda pop cans? Here we go again.You can use chocolate to shine up the
bottom of a soda pop can to use as an emergency "magnafying glass" to get fire started.Take two soda pop cans (beer cans will work just as good,be sure to drink the beer out first though) and stand one can up on a table,right at the edge of the table.Lay the other can down on the floor horizontally,right under the can standing up on the table.Get a yardstick or tape measure and measure the distance from the top of the can on the table to the top of the can laying on the floor,write it down.Then reverse the positions of the can on the table so it is horizontal and the can on the floor is standing up.Measure that and you will see a few inches difference.I know the reason why.Do you? cuhulin |

Unfortunately most folks simply do not comprehend the scale of the disaster nor what it takes to mobilize relief on that scale and the logistics involved.

Two million gallon oil storage tank near Venis,Louisiana,leaking into
the Mississippi River. www.drudgereport.com I heard from someone earlier today there are two oil tankers (Ships) waiting in New Orleans so the oil can be offloaded for the refineries.Two oil tankers,two million gallons of oil each.Someone shot holes in the sides of the oil tankers and they are leaking.I dont know if it is true or not.I think that is some tough steel plates on the sides of those oil tankers and I think some of them are double hulled,or whatever it's called.It must be some very powerfull Rifles and ammo that can shoot holes in the sides of those oil tankers. cuhulin |

I pity them, for they are truly the clueless. dxAce Michigan You are right. It's huge, and things take time. But that's not the real problem, at least for the future of NO and for other areas subject to catastrophes (like California and Seattle for example). It's not about relief after the fact - it's about being ready for the inevitable, especially when fair warning is given. There has been an almost unconscionable lack of good planning in the NO area for decades. The place has been a sitting duck, and people from the rank and file citizen to the federal government have been sitting on their hands hoping that what just happened never would. Oh sure, they (the Army Corps and related agencies) built levees and dikes and canals to move the water around the city, but in the final analysis, a city built below sea level needs not only the best possible system to keep the water out, it needs a coordinated contingency plan, with the feds/state/local governments all involved, as well as an educated and ready citizenry, to be prepared and ready to move when a major emergency happens (as it inevitably will). *Neither of these was in place.* This is hardly Bush's fault only (I am no Bush fan, but I recognize that he saw an emergency coming before the storm made landfall, and that in the long term he inherited this heritage from many administrations and congresses before him), but knowing that this socko blast was about to hit the single most vulnerable spot in the country, and having a few days warning, some effort could and should have been mobilized ASAP - and it wasn't. Not by Bush, not by Louisiana, and certainly not by NO, one of the poorest major communities in the nation and probably the most incapable as a result. Bush, unfortunately to his discredit, also said that nobody could have foreseen the breaching of the levees - but that is really beside the point. In reality, everyone who was familiar with them virtually *knew* it was coming. This worst case scenario has been predicted for ages. Enough people knew so that a plan could have been in place long before Bush was ever in office. Levee inadequacy being known, if a coordinated evacuation plan could have started in earnest early enough to get incapable people out, a significant amount of the current sturm und drang could have been avoided. Of course, some people would have been overlooked and some would have purposely stayed behind - that's human nature - but the worst could have been avoided. Even an extra 12 hours would have been quite beneficial, with time to get, for example, a fleet of buses into the poorer sections and out again. No, we cannot magically accomplish evacuation assistance and a cleanup, *not now,* with any immediacy. There are too many obstacles in the way. If a coordinated plan was in place before the obstacles were created, however, things would look better right now, at least from a human survival perspective. Either way, though, the city will take a generation to get back on its feet - if another hurricane does not come along first. Bruce Jensen |
