That Dr. Oz went right up to the corpses, pulled back their blankets and talked about what they died of. He put chairs around corpses in the streets to keep them from being run over. In extreme closeup, he showed how the medical staff in the airport were trying to do basic medical procedures under unthinkable conditions.
Oz talked to people who had written their names on their arms with magic markers, so they could be ID'd if they died.
A real unblinking look at the most grisly parts of this tragedy.
I think it was very effective, too, how Oprah went into the Superdome and showed how dark it was. You can imagine how gangs could just take over in a huge place that was pitch dark, with little security to stop it.
The NOLA police chief sobbing in Oprah's car was very profound, too. One of his officers had just killed himself. Eighty percent of the police officers are homeless themselves. God.
