All they need is a phone call. It is not like they are requesting helicopters and search and rescue teams. Right. Just a phone call. A lot of victims dying in New Orleans would probably love to have a phone call, too. On board are helicopters, food, medicine, water, doctors. According to the captain, they are waiting for authorization to offer aid. They've been waiting since Monday. I saw her interviewed two days ago and she indicated their pilots had been flying into New Orleans. They were 46 miles off the coast of Gulfport. But it does focus a huge logistical problem. There are tons of people willing to help; the problem is one of getting the right help in the right place. She also apparently managed to get a fairly detailed request for aid out on August 28th. So she was capable of at least two things. She signed a document that was likely prepared by FEMA. The woman spoke at my daughter's graduation this year and was an embarrassment.
