It was a tragic, yet heroic event.

We really have been helping each other through tough times. Obviously, it started as a result of a tragic event you never expect to read about. The idea and the relationship came out of tragic necessity.

They hadn't been produced yet.

Had they not have shown up, it could have been tragic.

We can look back on a historical event from 60 years ago and condemn that unreservedly. And yet we are not facing up to what we're seeing before our own eyes today. We're turning a blind eye to that and that's unacceptable.

The failure in response was just as tragic as the hurricane. Why weren't we more prepared? Why weren't we more equipped? Why did it take the response as long as it did? Why didn't we have places to take people that were different than where they ended up? So, there is a tremendous need for an investigation.
