Geraldo was even more shocking. He was lifting up babies and screaming "Let these people leave! Save them! Get them out of here! Look at this baby's face, we can't let them die!" Then he started crying.
Not surprising - I don't know how these journalists have done this all week and stayed sane.

There was a report on NPR today - a couple of the reporters basically saw a women dying in front of them - they asked a guard (who was watching as weel ) if anything would be done to help her...the guard was like.."Um yeah - I'll get back to you on that"

It's wan't a report as much as it was as NPR refers to as "audio essays" It was heartbreaking though - and you could hear that it's hard on those covering it too....
