[0:00] Stop.
[0:01] >> News Channel 5 encourages you to give to
[0:03] the Katrina Disaster Fund.
[0:07] >> Help at last. Convoys of federal aid
[0:10] start rolling in along the flooded
[0:12] streets of New Orleans to help the
[0:14] desperate and the dying. Thousands of
[0:16] National Guard troops take up positions
[0:19] to take back the city from the Kremlins.
