A video recorded before the Katrina victims were evacuated from New Orleans to the Astrodome. At this time the people that chose to stay were still at the Superdome and the convention center.
Before the flaming starts, let me say that I really lean right and I really don’t like Cooper that much but it was just awesome to see someone out a leader for their lack of concern over those victims.

Prepare for Hurricane Ike. This video introduces a series of “21st century disaster tips you WON’T hear from officials,” by homeland security and disaster management strategist W. David Stephenson. The tips tell you how to use personal communication devices and apps you use every day — and will use in a disaster whether or not officials want you to — to communicate with family and friends, and perhaps even to relay critical information to officials, without making a bad situation worse by, for example, making voice calls to let your family know you’re ok

Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the gulf coast. Now what I don’t understand is how if something happens somewhere on the otherside of the world we can be there in 2 days but when something like this hits close to home it took roughly 5 days just for some form help to arrive. I believe that this should be considered mrder because many could have been saved had the response time been quicker and more efficient. Someone should be held liable. What do you think?
Bush. The others responsible should be fired.
