Photographer interviewing I think the captain of a ferry tugboat (paraphrased):
St. Bernard is running out of food and water and are desperate for help. People are on the levees and houses are going to die without help. Commandeering ships and barges, must have help. Send food and water and help, whoever, governor, whoever. They’ve seen so little help. They’ve raided every grocery store. There’s nothing like this. Only a war zone would be like this. They have thousands, they don’t know how many are dead. They have people like these ready to die, they have no help. They’re getting so little support, food water, we’re almost out. Please congressmen, governor, senators, whoever, send us some help.
The veteran 40-year photographer, Willie Nelson Wilson (sorry), began periodically to cry during the viewing of his video footage of people rescued from Chalmette, which included the above.
One of the refugees saying that they saw helicopters going over but no boats except for two citizen boats, one that gave them a bottle of water and another that gave them a bag of cheerios.
