Hurricane Katrina Victims are still waiting. Some of the bodies are unidentified, others unclaimed.
Sir, you can't blame this on ex-FEMA Director Michael Brown.
Right now, they're all being stored in an unmarked warehouse near the Superdome in New Orleans.Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin, your former constituents are waiting!
More than 1000 bodies were recovered by rescue crews shortly after the hurricane. Most have been identified and buried.
Of the almost 100 that haven’t been buried, 30 have not been identified. The rest have been identified but families have not been able to claim the bodies.
New Orleans Coroner, Dr. Frank Minyard, says he has a plan to bury the bodies, but says he dose not yet have the money to build a memorial for the victims in the shape of a hurricane.
The bodies would be paced in mausoleums within the memorial. Minyard says the memorial will cost about $1.5 Million. So far he has raised about $250,ooo.
The coroner refuses, however, to move the bodies from the warehouse, saying: "I just, I mean, you can't spread these victims all over!"
