Recap of Tony Zumbado on MSNBC:
* People journeyed for days in chest deep water and followed the instructions of the Government by doing so. When they arrived at the convention center for "help" it was non existent.

* Babies starving/dying of dehydration, dead bodies lined up along the walls, and in spite of it all people are STILL patiently waiting for help.

* People are NOT looting but taking food/water for survival.

* It's NOT dangerous to approach the convention center - people are far more calm then they were after hurricane Andrew.

* Horrible scene, beyond imagination.

Check out Olbermann later for more.

So very sad. Where are the helicopters with food/water rations!?

Snip from MSNBC here:

"They were told to go to the convention center. They did, they've been behaving. It's unbelievable how organized they are, how supportive they are of each other. They have not started any mêlées, any riots ... they just want food and support. And what I saw there I've never seen in this country." ~ Tony Zumbado

1. That was the most disturbing report I've ever seen.
Tony Zumbado is a true journalist.

6. Catch Olbermann for sure, hopefully NBC will air some of this as well?
We have to bring attention so these people get help - it's been four days already.

10. Cover-up. That way they can blame the people of NO for dying.
They may have a hard time explaining why they didn't drop rations/water though.
