>>There are widespread reports of looting in flood-stricken New Orleans.

_____________________________________________

"...At the flooded Charity Hospital, armed looters forced doctors to give up narcotics, and at area Wal-Marts, thieves cleared the shelves of guns and ammunition. One man was forced to give up his car to a machete-wielding assailant.

"They are starting to get closer to heavily populated areas — hotels, hospitals — and we're going to stop it right now," New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin said, according to a Los Angeles Times report. One gang of looters attacked a state police truck carrying food, and there were even reports of city officials taking computer equipment from a Home Depot."

For the rest, keep this thread somehow linked to helicopters.
