[0:00] >> Fox News's Katrina coverage. I'm Bill
[0:03] O'Reilly. We do hope to see you again
[0:04] next time. And remember, the spin stops
[0:07] right here because we're always looking
[0:10] out for you.
[0:24] And this is a Fox News alert. The mayor
[0:26] of New Orleans says that at least
[0:28] hundreds, maybe even thousands of people
[0:30] might be dead inside the city of New
[0:33] Orleans at this hour. The city remains
[0:35] shut off to the world. All roads into
[0:37] the city are now closed and many roads
[0:40] are still impassible. Officials said
[0:42] today that it could take at least 6 to 8

[1:11] of people wandering aimlessly through
[1:13] the flooded streets, desperately
[1:15] searching for help. They have little
[1:17] food, little water, and those that have
[1:19] left their homes have no shelter. The
[1:21] Superdome, which provided refuge for
[1:23] thousands of people when the hurricane
[1:25] hit two days ago, is now being
[1:27] abandoned. The occupants are being bust
[1:30] 300 m away to the Astrodome in Houston.
[1:33] And meanwhile, the water is still
[1:34] coming, and attempts by engineers to
[1:36] plug the levies that are f
