Survivors From New Orleans Speak Out About Week of Horror
We go to Louis Armstrong airport in New Orleans where thousands of hurricane survivors are staying. The airport has become a triage center where the oldest, the youngest and the sickest lay desperate for help.
As residents continue to be evacuated from the city, thousands were brought to the airport which was serving as a giant triage center. Inside the terminal building, the scope of the disaster revealed itself in grim detail. Hundreds lay in stretchers lined along the floors, people slumped in wheelchairs waiting for help. Among those who remained were the oldest, the sickest and the youngest. Those who had waited for days to be evacuated from New Orleans now faced the crisis unfolding at Louis Armstrong airport.
