A story in the wsj from Marriott re the Ritz Carlton
Marriott to ReopenMost of Its HotelsIn New Orleans - WSJ
here is a story from a dr. that was staying at the Ritz Carlton.
College of American Pathologists - A pathologist on the frontlines in New Orleans
Sounds like there was water damage, was it from flooding? I don't know.
But there is no mention from the doctor re dead bodies floating by nor can I find any other stories stating such.
The Marriott is the one on the left of those tall buildings in the distance in the last photo in post 175 (and 165 since they merged the threads). The Sheraton is the one to its right across the street, darker and slightly taller. The Marriott is the French Quarter side of the street.
And yes, the Ritz Carlton was heavily damaged by flooding; it was closed for I believe it was 15 months for repairs. Those people wading across the street in the first picture I posted in this thread, captioned as "evacuating from their French Quarter hotel", are probably coming from the RC - it's exactly that direction.
As far as specifics - it was a disaster scene in progress; there was no such thing as an official journal of everything, and there never will be. Which is also why nobody knows if Brian Willliams had dysentery or some stomach flu or what -- it wasn't like you could just up and saunter into a doctor's office. As your link notes with the train car explosion there were explosions from gas ruptures and fires all over the place that there was no way for any firefighter to reach -- they just had to burn themselves down to the water line.
As in this photo, one of mine taken in October when we were first let back in... the second photo is the effect on a stop sign's paint peeling from the heat of another fire... the sign was all the way down at the corner, well away from the building.
So with all due respect, the idea that something didn't happen in an environment like this because some doctor officially didn't see it is just absurd.
Walter Cronkite, Minister of Propaganda for the VC, turned the Tet slaughter of the NVA and virtual annihilation of the VC into an American defeat.Williams is a canuck and they're all liars....it's their national pastime. But he's not even in the same league as Walter Cronkite...that old drunk made up pretty much every report he sent from Saigon....it got so bad he was disinvited to press briefings.
Reported Khe Sanh like it was Dien Bien Phu knowing all the while Marine artillery and air was chewing up the PAVN as fast as they could get across the DMZ.
, But, it don't mean shit.
Nope, Walter Cronkite never let his bias show. You could listen to him for years and never get any indication which side of the political isle he was on. News anchors back in the day were very careful about not only what they reported but how they reported it. Their voices wouldn't raise to show any emotion, very flat and to the point speaking on all issues.
Today, and probably due to ratings, news anchors have turned into entertainers. The love affair Brian Williams was having with Obama was made fun of by Bill Mayer and SNL, it was so obvious. Of course it doesn't help that General Electric owns NBC and MSNBC, and CEO of General Electric, Jeffrey Immelt, is Obama's job Czar.
But no one can tolerate an anchor that makes up stories, so Brian Williams has to go.

Cronkite hid his prejudice, and his role as Propaganda Minister for the VC.

I hope that old bastard is spinning in his grave when I post this.
His bullshit.Well lets just say I smartened up over the years.
Do you feel like a dumbass yet? Are you still going to support a liar? I mean after supporting a sex offender, seems like you would wake up a little.Brian Williams is in good company in the hellish den of fellow liberal liars.
Walter Cronkite. Peter Jennings. Dan Rather.Or when Obama claimed he was conceived under the Edmund Pettus Bridge while the famous civil rights march passed overhead?
So what's the point of lying that brazenly, Roadrunner? You had to know someone would call you on it.
I'm guessing that brazen lying is kind of like a gang initiation for conservatives. In order to get into the gang, they have to show they're willing to stoop to any tactic to support the gang.
Anyways, from all the raging, I'm getting the impression that the GOP won't invite Brian Williams to be their debate moderator again. He's not their favorite any more.
I just tweaked his tall tale a bit.
They really didn't fuck under the bridge.
Barack Obama addressed a group in Selma, AL commemorating the 1965 voting rights march. He credited the event with giving his parents the idea that they could have a child. The result was him--Barack Obama, Child of Destiny. The only problem is he was born in 1961.
"What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation...This young man named Barack Obama...came over to this country. He met this woman...(who) had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided...it might...be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama... So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama.
I'm here because somebody marched."
If the media wasn't liberal, they would've reported on obama. Instead of hiding his lies.There is no 'liberal media,' the notion is ridiculous and unfounded.
