9 comments September 6th, 2005

I've heard that President George Bush is proud of the fact that he never watches tv or reads the papers, and all his news and information is given to him by his advisors.

I've also heard that there were at least 2 photo ops in or around New Orleans where aid facilities were set up before his arrival and then torn down after he left. They existed there only because of the opportunity to show Bush as being 'on the ground' and 'amongst the people', even though the people he interacted with were carefully screened by the Secret Service.

Timeline of New Orleans debacle

2 comments September 6th, 2005

I'm supplying here a comparison of two disasters. First the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, followed by the New Orleans Hurricane Katrina, 2005. The New Orleans timeline has been gathered by me from multiple sources on the internet.


San Francisco Earthquake

April 18 1906

The earthquake struck at 5:13 AM.

By 7 AM federal troops had reported to the mayor.

By 8 AM they were patrolling the entire downtown area and searching for survivors.

The second quake struck at 8:14 AM.
