NPR audio– Ricky Ray, of the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board. Working 24 hours a day in a hurricane flood in a 100-year-old building, water up to his neck, alone, to fight the flood waters and try to save the drinking water system so people wouldn’t die of dehydration. Sitting on a levee for days, waving off rescue so that others could be helped. Finally, plucked out of a shelter in another city and plunging straight back into the pumphouse in the dark where he is working to push out the Rita flooding waters.
These are the people Bush wants you to blame for the disaster.
