The flight down there..
and the chinook flight to the superdome...
It was immidiatly evident the filth people were living in.
the inside of the superdome was deemed unsanitary (condemned) so the remaining people who were waiting for evacuation were forced to wait outside....
we then went through the superdome to make sure everybody was out since the lines for the buses were getting really short..... the inside of the superdome had the NASTIEST stench you could imagine..... and was trashed... everydoor was kicked down and thousands of dollars of booz were looted.... there was standing urine in places and feces in piles in the middle of the hallways... feces was also stacked about 6 inches about every toilet since the toilets could not be flushed... rotten food was everywhere.... there were many bodies left behind in the Superdome.... here are a few choice pictures just to give you an idea....
I was detailed to guard the ambulances since there was a problem with people trying to force their way in so they could steel the narcotics.
Here is the aftermath of the evacuation at the superdome.
......
and a view from my concrete bed at the superdome.
We then moved to a differant part of the city to aid in rescue, and prevent looting in Jefferson Parish. Here are some photo's from the trip there.... we ended up sleeping 150 guys on a basketball court.... this is where i spent the rest of my time... i had two sets of uniforms 3 pairs of underwear 3 pairs of socks, and 2 pairs of boots.... it was around 100 degrees and humidity was unbearable.... we crapped into MRE bags, and Pissed into our waterbottles which were stored in an empty boat... we had no toilet paper... it would be 27 days before i had my first shower.... i averaged 3 -5 hours of sleep per 24 hour period.
This following pic was an assisted care facility, we pulled several bodies out of here.
this is my favorite photo from down there.... these boats were on an overpass!!!
all of the following horses died within 6 hours of this photo being taken.... they had been drinking the K-water.... guys in my unit had to drag the horses away so they wouldnt decompose near our living area.
Where the water had recieded there were plenty of rotting fish.
A car dealership
unbelievable damage from the winds.
We then commadiered a boat to try and get to the hard to reach places where the water was so deep that a 5 ton truck couldnt reach.... we found no humans alive... we did make two rescues though.
This was my new best friend, until the SPCA (i think that was the org.) came and put both dogs to sleep.... the larger of the two had bumps all over it from insect bites or something... it was nasty....
Our first rescue.... unfortunatly she was forced to stay by her son... her son was gone when we found her, and when we went back later to try and find her son their was gasoline poured on the inside of the residence, a propane bottle leaking and what appeared to be a flare attached to the door.... we would find out later that grannies social security checks is what this guy was living off of, we later arrested him with a plasma tv in a wheelbarrel, along with hundreds of pieces of jewelry, a large amount of cocaine, and three or four stolen firearms.....
We continued our search however finding survivers was no longer our goal.... we had switched into recovery mode.... every house, every apartment was checked, at least the the degree of cracking a window or something to smell for death to try and find the remains of the victims.... we ran out of body bags before finding this poor soul... so we guarded it to keep the dogs and birds from eating the corpse.... it would be 12 hours before we finally decided to break into an apartment and steel a sheet.... this would be the breaking point for most of us and we were sent home not a whole lot later.... to this day i do not know whether this person was white, black, male or female, but this was a common sight....
We then were sent to a naval ship to shower, and then to an airport to be picked up by a small plane..... while there i took a picture of the nastiest spider i have ever seen with my own eyes.... and another picture of some hurricane damage.
