David - we felt the same as you.
In fact DH was so disgusted, and upset that he phoned the TV station and
complained about that footage. He felt they had no respect for human life.
After all the dead bodies were someone's family a week ago.
One really wonders about the organizers of the rescue. They don't seem to
have a clue what to do.
I think back to Cyclone Tracey, which flattened Darwin - Yes, I know there
was not water inundation, but it was Xmas morning, and within hours there
were planes there from all the airlines, evacuating people out, as they had
no homes or safe places to go. And Darwin is so far from any other city, but
people were taken out of there within hours, not days or weeks, Public
Holiday (Christmas) or not.
