...really is this thing of executives loving the smell of their own urine and urinating on things. And then more execs come in, and they urinate. And then the next round. By the end, they have this thing which just smells like pee, and nobody likes...
...smell of bloated bodies and swamp rot permeates the air, especially in the suburbs to the north and east, as sewage laps at the doors and windows of homes, hospitals and amusement parks. In the hardest-hit area, St. Bernard Parish, to the east, searchers navigated the floodwaters looking for submerged bodies, often coming up empty, then finding horror: of the 67 known dead there, 27 perished in one nursing home.

Their last rescue of the day had the pilot setting the helicopter down precariously on an overpass, the rotor blades whipping up the noxious smell of oil, sewage and corpses stewing in the city's stubborn flood waters. There the CH-53 received a group of blind people who had been brought to the helicopter by one of the rescue boats that were now coordinating more efficiently with the air rescue effort. Though they probably had more reason...
