Since they didn't provide a warning, I had to read something I really didn't want to see. I posted as a caution to people. If you read what I read, and can't see what's bad, then I don't know what to say to you.

You do realize that putting bodies in freezers is what happens right??? If not then dont be shocked to find that there are 2 freezer trucks at the airport that are being used for just such a thing.

I mean, yeah, it's bad. It's all bad. But I'm not enraged or anything. It's just very, very sad.

That newsblog seems like a pretty good source for information, I was reading it a lot during the storm.

Bodies in freezers is MUCH better than bodies left to get disease/rot etc.

Really? Bodies in a freezer without power? The body of a child after its throat was cut? Did you read the article?

What I fear is that in the end these hundreds or even thousands of nameless, faceless victims will soon be forgotten by a public desperate for some good news about this crisis. I have already noticed a different tone to the major media reports that are attempting to put a positive spin on the stories, the major theme being "signs of light at the end of the tunnel." Only the Times-Picayune, written by people who live at Ground Zero really has the guts to place the banner headline "A Living Hell" on the front page of its paper.
