This is why people get worried: Galveston briefing says NADA about search for bodies.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4031774

This morning there was a briefing by the Galveston officials. The county judge said they were going to be searching debris piles today. The subtext was that they were going to be looking for bodies.

Okay. So, at their 4pm briefing with FEMA, they didn't say a word about that search. It was like they never announced it. They talked about the Small Business Administration offering loans and about how the Navy had come in to help out. But, nothing, nada about the search they had announced earlier today.

You'd think that if things went well, they'd want to tell people about that. Or, if things didn't go very well, they'd find a way to say that, too.

But THIS is exactly why people are worried and trying to come up with answers on their own. There is an information vacuum. I don't know who is responsible for that, but it is there.

 The boobies show up and squawk:

1. Are you watching the equipment coming in
 I think the marines have arrived to pick up bodies. Some of the equipment on the back of those big trucks sure looked like portable morgues.


Silly DUmmie. we don't put bodies into morgues. We burn them in ditches.

4. Could be generators and comm center trailers, also -  
 The Sea-Bees and/or Marines could be staging an "infrastructure repair" landing to clean up debris, make roadways passable, and set up basic sewage support and equipment to create potable water for the island until the civil authorities can get the repairs started. Medical and morgue support is part of the disaster assistance package, true, but it isn't the primary reason they roll the big equipment in.

They've done this in other locations, usually as part of international good-will assistance exercises when, say, a tsunami or typhoon disaster hits a third world country.

8. And you know this from your own extensive personal experience...
 ...in the field of disaster recovery, or are you just pulling shit out of your ass?

25. Maybe I missed the first thing you had to say or anything at all.
 malaise was the very first DUer who got and talked about the repression going on in the disaster area. She has been right much more often than not and she's been right earlier than anyone else.

You have been abusive of many posters who are following this story.

You chose your own adventure.


I choose a Beach Adventure with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! HURRAH!  :cheersmate:

17. And I live on a reality-prone island...
 ...where there's no conceivable motive for whatever nonsense gibberish is being suggested here.


I love the wibblewabbble.

19. Thanks. Whenever we need someone to justify government repression,
 you'll get a PM.


HELP HELP I'm being repressed!

31. Maybe you should go back and see what you just agreed with.
 My OP was about the fact, not the intuition, not the warm feeling, but the FACT that Galveston conducted a search today and then, did not release any information.

Where you or that other poster can find gibberish in that is beyond me.
 

and there was a man on the grassy knoll, dammit!

3. I have to take the puppy out. Anyone who can pay attention
 is much appreciated.

Where is the update on the body search?

How can you have a puppy in this horrible * economy?

15. As per my OP, Galveston officials said they'd be searching debris piles
 today for bodies. They didn't say "for bodies" but they did say that with their gestures. (I think the vid is up at the KHOU website. It was unmistakable, wrapping up a discussion about causalities.)

They blew off the whole issue in their afternoon briefing. So, they got people's hopes up in the morning and blew them off this afternoon. I think that's a mistake.


Oh, for ****s sake people. Start sending pictures of you white hands to Galveston right ****ing now!

Lets assume that the premise is correct and there was a search for bodies.
That would be dead bodies,someones loved ones.
Just how in the hell does that get anyones "hopes up"?

Or was that a slip of the tongue you morbid freak,the hopes was that of you and your fellow ghouls for something to be used as Katrina part II.

DUmmy sfexpat2000, and most of the democrat party, would rejoice at the discovery of a demolished elementary school full of dead children. They would be ecstatic, because it would have clearly been Bush's fault. They are deeply saddened by the current low death toll.

It upsets me that there are even 4600+/- people that are this mentally disturbed............... and Skin provides a method for them to reinforce their illness.

Skin should be put in jail for facilitation of stupid at the very least.

I have a cousin in Galvaston working this disaster. They went in right behind the storm. They were posted in what used to be Loser-anna waiting for it to pass. He's called home a few times and hasn't mentioned any dead bodies...........oh, that's right Bush told him not to. OOOPS! Sorry ya'll.

Don't kid yourselves, there are going to be bodies.

But I swear Dougs Wife is the dumbest creature that ever pulled itself out of a pond and figured out how to breath air.

Sadly there will - but the gulf between what will be found and 900+ floaters will be vast.

Oh Yeah.  And they will be searched out by specialty teams, NOT the frigging marines.  Cadaver dogs.

Just thank God the sucker came ashore weaker than expected.  If that had hit Cat4 or 5 it would have been fracking horrible as opposed to plain ole horrible. :(

Speculation by people who are normal is human.  Speculation by kooks like you who live their lives making every event into a political play for advantage only leads to these crazy theories you then convince yourselves are the facts.

And then you wonder why your political viewpoints are marginalized.  Let me spell it out to you:  It's because you're stupid.

Well, sure.  On both points.
