Spread these pictures around!



Additonal Information:

from Die Welt:

Die Rettungs- und Hilfsarbeiten nach dem Hurrikan „Katrina“ kosten die USA derzeit eine Milliarde Dollar (800 Millionen Euro) pro Tag - mehr als doppelt so viel wie geplant, wie Senator Thad Cochran sagte. Ein Sprecher der Heimatschutzbehörde von Louisiana bezifferte die Schäden für seinen Bundesstaat auf mehr als 100 Milliarden Dollar. Präsident Bush plant nach Angaben des demokratischen Senators Harry Reid eine erhebliche Aufstockung der Finanzhilfen.

Rescue and aide are costing more than double the planned expenditure.It is costing more than 1 billion dollars a day!!

Total damage for Louisiana expected to reach 100 billion dollars.

Additional funding expected to be requested by Bush

Pictures of people in shock. Bless them all.

Links are in initial post

Some kinds of images are not getting through. Do you see any pictures over there of the big mortuary trucks that are coming into St. Gabriel (the town where all the casuaties are being taken)?

I found this one especially disturbing.. there is a person trapped INSIDE this van.

That's horrible man.

but much of what you see is man's inhumanity to man.

Show these pictures to the guy in the office who has everything but a swastika on the chest of his brown shirt. Tell him much of this could have prevented if Bush had not been playing around.

And every single picture I find I'll be saving.

What a strange photo, in the middle of a city.

Thank you for the photos, and thanks in advance for any help on the caption. (my son is at school, or I'd ask him)

Ein Mann verscheucht Pferde und Esel, die vor der Katastrophe Touristen durch die Stadt beförderten. Tiere werden bei der Evakuierung nicht berücksichtigt.

A man is attempting to disperse horses and donkeys, which were used to transport tourists throughout the city. Animals were not given any consideration during the evacuation.

There is a song, 'Bless the Beasts and the Children', that came to mind this morning while viewing some of these pictures. Always thought it was sappy. Now it's haunting me.

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

(*) light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

(**) bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm

Keep them safe
Keep them warm

--

sad, angry tears. too many days start and end that way.

It is a shame to see these are shown world wide. It will sure make terrorist happy to know we can not do really any thing when things get in a bad way. Terrorists has gone sky high since 911 and I bet this will help them.

.

Sorry,but these are amazing photos
