Out of curiosity, was the whole helicopter shooting incident
ever resovled? Was there any evidence brought forward? I don't recall any resolution to that thread.
The last I knew was that the FAA had no reported incidences.
Did any new info come about?
It seems some of those threads became a bit inflammatory, so I should be clear that I'm not trying to start the whole debate again, just wondering if it was resolved.
1. I got it second hand that some people trying to get the hell out
of there got pissed because they kept being "overlooked" by the "rescuers" who allegedly said that they would come back for them but didn't. My friend volunteering at the Astrodome said a woman there told her this. I don't know? But that was the most plausible explanation I have heard so far...when people are forced into survival mode, they can get kind of primal. Personally, I think that I'd get primal to if I were being left to die.
6. It really plays well with the looting and welfare scumbag stories
It may have been one incident, but has been played up to make all the survivors look bad. I heard a couple of old republicans talking about it yesterday. No facts of course just that "they" were shooting at the rescuers.
