some people would of been trapped because of the flooding, plus entrance too the main Highways (freeways) would of been impossible
Most people are trapped and/or dead in there homes. Right now b/c they tried to ride-out the strom in there homes. The National Guard said most died in their attics.
yes but if water is up to your neck, they probably thought they had a better chance staying int here homes.

Yeah that would have been best, but if they would have left their home to go to a shelter, before the storm came, they would have had a better chance of living.

i would of thought that most electricity would of been cut but the time the danger of Katrina became apparent, so maybe they 1: didn't know where to go 2: were at a complete loss of what to do.

Thats why I said before the storm. They had alot of shelters to go to. So some one out of those 10,000 people or whatever knew where to go, and what to do. They were just hard headed people and didn't want to live their house.

suzie_k:
I found this and i thought it was an interesting comparison
A small comparison of catastrophies - in India and the States
Inches of rain in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina - 18
Inches of rain in Mumbai (July 27th) - 37.1
Population of New Orleans - 484,674
Population of Mumbai - 12,622,500
Deaths in New Orleans within 48 hours of Katrina - 100
Deaths in Mumbai within 48 hours of rain - 37
Number of people to be evacuated in New Orleans - entire city... wohh
Number of people evacuated in Mumbai - 10,000
Cases of shooting and violence in New Orleans - countless
Cases of shooting and violence in Mumbai - NONE
Time taken for US army to reach New Orleans - 48 hours
Time taken for Indian army and navy to reach Mumbai - 12 hours
Status 48 hours later - New Orleans is still waiting for relief, army and electricty
Status 48 hours later - Mumbai is back on its feet and is business is as usual
USA - world's most developed nation
India - third world country
Oops... did I get the last fact wrong?
Jai Maharashtr
we could have been there sooner, but there was this thing where, um, it would have killed everyone!
gosh, New Orleans was almost uninhabitable before a force FIVE hurricane, it won't be safe to be a dumbass and move there for a few years
Jai Maharashtr is an : and needs to quit bitching

I don't know why people say something completely illogical, but say it in a logical manner, and expect no one to notice
water goes higher, you go higher, you don't know any information, you just know that it's flooding
New Orleans was very poor, and a shitty place to live in, most people had no knowledge of what was going on, and it's more than a 35 mile walk to safety, it's hundreds of miles because of the diseases, you had dead bodies in the water, days of travel (which means you're walking in your own waste, which means you're getting those additional infections), no supplies, no information, a miracle you're still alive, and people using you to bitch about the government.... "they could have simply walked away from the storm..." just llike when your teacher said "ignore the bully, they will leave you alone" except this is one thousand times worse

oh, and Green Day released American Idiot in this month, I know musical tradjedies aren't as deadly as the other tradjedies, but sure a few people commit suicide over it
The hurricane is horrible, all that's ever on the news here (California) is the tragedy of Katrina. I can't help but want to go down there and try to be some one's hero, but I could never go there. It makes me really mad though because people in our own country are suffering but we're still sending troops to Iraq instead of sending them to Lousianna. We're over there being senselessly murdered for nothing when there are people suffering tremendously in Louisianna and Mississippi.
well, it was badly handled, and bush is really sucking with this also.
i mean,let alone, the idiots who buitl the city built it below sea level, but the french were smart and stayed dry. fair enough.
everyone shouldhave been able to anticipate it. I FUCKING DID! psha, geez.

I just read about it o_o No way. He's not wasting time, is he?
i'm sorry for anyone that has been affected by hurricane katrina, but does it seem slightly ironic how much the media is focussing on this particular event despite the fact that catastrophies like this occur every single year in third world countries?
it kinda seems like the USA gets so much more attention for anything that happens...

And that catastrohpe in Asia almost a year ago; over 200 000 people died, and the rescue arrangements and worked quite well after all.

I know, doesn't Bush just suck? letting those people live below sea level in a shitty place with constant hurricanes and a dam that only withholds a force three! I mean, it's not as if we as Americans would have ripped his head off for evacuating them...oh wait, we did! we were pissed when he called a mandatory evacuation a few days before, we thought he was a dick for making people leave their homes! so they stayed put and died...so...of course it's Bush's fault, not only that, but it makes him a racist too!
DAMMIT PEOPLE QUIT USING HIM AS A FUCKING SCAPEGOAT I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FALL FOR ALL THIS SHIT THAT DOING THE RIGHT THING TO DO ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST THING TO DO BECAUSE IT BLOODY WELL IS!!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!! NO MORE PROTEST SHIT JUST SUCK IT UP, LIFE ISN'T PERFECT AND IT'S NOT BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1134

I woldn't doubt it, any major crisis is the fault of a president, he blamed Clinton for Columbine...it probably makes me hypocritical to have the same interveiw in my sig...oh well, people just need to learn that blaming the president doesn't make it his fault
what about all the animals?I know people come first, but do you know how many people are mad because hundreds of animals are dying everyday? And alot of people on PETA are not donateing to charities for people, but for animals and nothing is getting done, kind of pointless. Every1 knows there are people out there who think enough is being done for people so they cant help, but if they would try to advertise campainges for animal charities alot of people would donate to those. I think people come first, but there is alot of people who want to help animals so shouldnt a charity for animals be more organized so the money goes somewhere?
