Horrible scenes at New Orleans airport
In triage center, baggage conveyor used for grim task of moving bodies
I’ve been reporting for 21 years around the world and I've never seen the likes of this.
This is, I think, the hardest story I’ve ever covered. Emotionally, I’m just really being tested. I cannot believe what I’m seeing.
A reporter is supposed to remain detached and just report what’s going on. But, when there is a man lying on the ground, and he’s yelling out to anyone walking by, “Help me! I need some water! Help me!” and there is no one to help this man.
There is no one to reach down, give him some water, or hold his head, and tell him to breath slowly.
It is unimaginable. It is absolutely gut-wrenching. It’s horrible.
NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders spent the night at the The New Orleans International Airport, now a make-shift triage center. He filed this report by satellite phone.
