Country: | I was just watching the news on the net here during my lunch break regarding the aid being sent from many nations to assist the people enduring this tragedy.
The Mexican navy will take part in the effort sending one navy supply ship. The name of the vessel is "Paloapan" -or something like that; i am not very good with some mexican words-.
The vessel will be carrying two Mi-17 helicopters, several "Ural" all-terrain vehicles, amphibious vehicles, drinking water, medical teams, a mobile hospital and other supplies.
Nature might wipe out roads, houses, complete towns, and even take the lives of the friends, daughters, sons and parents of so many. It shall never break human spirit.
Enclosed is a photo of the departing vessel.

Country: | Yeap, I dont think the US has ever seen something like this. The only thing worse possibly was the Sunami in Indonesia.

My friends mother and grandmother are missing there..... | now the question is if they want to go back to n.o. , after all the rebuilding.
as you noted n.o has been wiped out, then what?
it is going to be a ghost city?
are peolpe willing to return?
to tell you the truth, i highly doubt it, they will try to start in other paces but n.o. | |

Country: | Hey Les. Glad to see you survived. If you know by now New Orleans has turned into a battlefield. Choppers being shot at, civilains attacked, National Guardsmen engaging fire fights, the gangsters seem to want New Orleans to reamain the same with all of its crimes, looting, and raping.
Glad you made it...
And one other thing, does anybody know how the D-Day museum is? The museum is located in New Orleans and im afraid all the WWII history has been damaged or totalled.

Country: | The museum itself isn't that far from the Superdome. My wife and I passed by it a few years ago, but it wasn't open for business yet at the time. I think most folks around there have other priorities right now. | |
