OK for those that wonder who wonder what the government is doing right now, well they declared marshal law do to all the problems in the area. Expect the area in full and complete military conrol by tommorow. They called in the U.S.S. Eisenhower to the area from the panama area. And for those that don't know that is an aircraft carrier. And about 18 ships escort carriers. So yes we are moving in a fleet with at least 40,000 troops to help gain control of the situation.
Thankyou, George Bush III, now nobody can post on this unless they have an opinion. Pshh, no one has that nemore... :P
Bullshit Madd, bullshit.
If your taking about 9/11 i should hit you...It wasnt a couple hundred...Try a couple thousands. Were not just gonna let them hit is, kill many people and let them do it again, we had to do something. If you think its not a serious matter then all i have to say is try living in the damn state,not even 100 fucking miles from where its happening.

meh thats gonna take ages to de-flood seeing as new orleans is below sea level
Lets just hope they get the levvee fixed. Then the rest isnt all that hard. Just takes a long time, maybe a month...Boy thats gotta suck.
yea, 9-11 was crazy, especially since i live 30 minutes away from where it happend, my grandma worked in the world trade center, and was THERE as it happend (she got out luckily, but lost credit cards and a lot of money and her job), and then for a week my dad went to ground zero every night to volunteer from 12-7 cuz hes a retired leutenant...
not that neone cares tho... o.O
I do, i live on LI, close to it. It really sucked and it was freaky, you didnt see anyone in the streets.
cant they just build back the levee then pump the water out with like 50 massive industrial pumps
while resucing people
That was pretty offensive MaDD. Truthfully, I tend to detach myself from negative sitations and happenings around the world. I don't like to get wrapped up in that stuff... its jut not for me.
New Orleans is descending into anarchy, but what is there to do? It's a fight for survival, there is no more food, no more water, of course people will resort to looting. Breaking the law to survive is justifiable. Except for those idiots stealing all the TVs and shit.
It is going to take months definitely before people can even start going back into the city. Right now, its like bailing out a bathtub with a spoon. Then they have to detox the entire city because of all the disease and garbage in the water. They might have to rebuild almost everything.
Like Crazygamer said, the economy is going to be affected, not only the US, but across the world. Already gas prices have increased even higher than the 1.00 last week.
