Death Toll in New Orleans
Why is this not being discussed (much)?
It seems odd to me that very little mention of the numbers of dead are being mentioned. Is it hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands. As the tsunami story unfolded there was a constant emphasis on the death toll with new figures for each effected country coming out daily. But from the US we are hearing nothing. Seems strange. I have heard (Sky News, so probably not true) that they intend using the SuperDome as a mortuary once they manage to get the refugees out of there and sent to Texas (which seems to be where everybody is going).
