Jesus fucking Christ, I never, ever thought I'd see something this bad in the United States:
Quote:
Soldiers toting M-16s strengthened their grip on this swamped city as fears grew about the risks posed by the stinking floodwaters today. Officials braced for what could be a staggering death toll by readying 25,000 body bags.
. . .
Mayor C. Ray Nagin had earlier said New Orleans' death toll could reach 10,000. Already, a temporary warehouse morgue in rural St. Gabriel that had been prepared to take 1,000 bodies was being readied to handle 5,000. The official death toll in Mississippi climbed to 201 Wednesday, but more than 1,000 are feared dead there, too.

It makes my heart break.
