Uh Oh! They're "fixin" the numbers already....

[wanpete]

CNN has Soledad saying there weren't hundreds of dead in the warehouse. Uh huh, yeah, right...:grr:

[Avalux]

1. We'll never know the real number.

And if Bushco has their way, it'll be less than the number of casualties on 9/11. Otherwise, they lose a very real psychological advantage.

[eleonora]

3. they won't be able to cover those numbers

there will be an official list of the missing with names I'm sure.

[Tiggeroshii]

4. how many were there dead on 9 11? 3000? n/t

[NYC]

6. Under 3,000.

Over 2,000, but I can't remember if the final figure was around 2,300 or 2,700. The numbers were constantly dropping from the 3,000 as they identified bodies.

[Tiggeroshii]

7. hmph.

I doubt this'll be higher than a thousand. But anything close to or over a thousand in my eyes, clearly shows a lack of competence in the rescue operation...

[never_get_over_it]

12. I think Katrina's death toll will be larger than 9/11 eom

[NYC]

15. I suspect it will be well over 1,000.

Even if we are talking about just New Orleans, I suspect it will be well over 1,000.

A reporter in Gulfport thought that Mississippi may have a death toll of 800 to 1,000.

I think the death toll in New Orleans will be very high, unless they hide the count.

[linazelle]

18. Bu$hCo won't let it surpass 9/11 fatality rate. Watch. nt

[NYC]

21. I believe that.

He won't want anything to upstage his glorious 9/11.

[never_get_over_it]

11. 3,030 total according to this

http://www.september11news.com/911Art.htm

[NYC]

14. I'm surprised.

I'll go read the link. They had kept lowering it.

[NYC]

16. This is what I had in mind:

In December 2002 the Total Deaths from the WTC Attack was revised to 2,792.

From the link you provided. Thanks.

[never_get_over_it]

19. Yes so the total for the attack is 3,021

WTC, Pentagon and planes - you're in NYC and I was in DC at the time We really have to count all the death from that horrific day - Katrina and the freak in chief's failure is going to have a death count much much higher than 9/11.

[NYC]

20. I wonder if we'll ever know.

I've heard estimates from 10,000 to 40,000. Will they be counted? Will the count be released? Or will the federal government control all of the information flowing out of New Orleans. It would be so much easier for them to act in secrecy, and then declare that New Orleans is totally uninhabitable, and not that many people died.

[Tiggeroshii]

2. Fuck.

:banghead:

[cthrumatrix]

5. it will comeout ...and those who lied will be shown for fools

[Tiggeroshii]

8. You're an optimist!

Cheers to the optimist!

:toast:

[EC]

9. I wonder how many are being pumped into the lake.

I also wonder if they are recording how many died of drowning and how many starved to death or died of dehydration...sunstroke, and other causes?



on edit: Spell check doesn't really work at level 2 does it?

[Redstone]

10. Twelve thousand.

Whether the Feds will ever admit it or not.

Redstone

[riverwalker]

13. I think I figured out what she said

and it took a while. She said the story a couple days ago about the 100 people rescued and dropped off on the slip and died without water while waitng for pick up was false. It was "only a few" she corrected.
I think todays warehouse story is still true.

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Isn't it strange that right after the tragedy of Sept. 11, the media

kept telling us the exaagerated amount of dead and now after the Katrina catastrophy they don't even want to speculate how many has died?

[SoCalDem]

22. ONLY TWO PEOPLE DIED and the democrats are

just moving them around and photographing them in different places...So help me Bush :evilgrin:

[flyarm]

IN KATRINA'S WAKE
Morticians prep
for 40,000 bodies
Corpses piled in convention center freezer – 'It's not on, but at least you can shut the door'

As the water level in much of New Orleans begins to slowly recede, officials are preparing to deal with thousands of dead bodies – bodies floating in contaminated water, hidden in damaged homes and even piled together in the freezer of the city's convention center.

"DMort is telling us to expect up to 40,000 bodies," Dan Buckner, a funeral home director, said, quoting officials with the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team, a volunteer arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

The 40,000 estimate does "not include the number of disinterred remains that have been displaced from ... mausoleums," Buckner told the paper.

The Dmort teams include morticians, medical examiners, coroners, pathologists, anthropologists, odontologists, dental assistants, photographers, police, DNA, X-ray, evidence, fingerprint, mental health and computer specialists, and others such as heavy-equipment operators.
