The satellite phone/comm wasn't working for FEMA & NG after
the hurricane? Someone please explain that to me. I can understand cell phones not working, but I thought the satellite phones/communication system that the miltary uses would have been working so they could talk to one another. My husband thinks they are making up excuses, and he's usually right.
1. reporters were using theirs and loaning them to people
This was reported several times over Monday and Tuesday. A friend of mine got a call from her parents thanks to NBC's cameraman who felt sorry for them.
That tested the communications links between national guard, State and municipal authorities. So when I first heard of this communications failure excuse, my antenna went up.
I think it's probably an excuse to cover up the failure to start soon enough (eg late last week) to get the response started.
