"At one point I had 10 helicopters on the ground waiting to go, but
FEMA kept stonewalling us with paperwork. Meanwhile, every 30 or 40 minutes
someone was dying." -- Marc Creswell, a medic with the Acadian Ambulance
company, quoted in a New York Times column titled
"Going (Down) by the Book" by John Tierney, 2005-09-17 (thanks to
vvalkyri for
pointing it out)
