2005: Hurricane Katrina slams into the Gulf Coast

Quote Of The Day
"Not only was Ethel Freeman dead. There was no place to put her body. So (her son) Herbert covered her with a blanket given to him by a stranger and left her by this side store. Three days later the buses finally came and Herbert evacuated, leaving his mother's body behind. He wrote his name and phone number on a paper and slid it inside one of Ethel's pockets, hoping someone would find it and give his mother's body back to him once the crisis was over.

It would be two whole months before anybody could tell Herbert Freeman where his mother's body had been taken. Ethel Freeman's death became a symbol of the government's failure to help those who needed it most."
(Anderson Cooper)
