[0:00] On World News Tonight, forced
[0:02] evacuations in New Orleans trying to get
[0:05] the water, the fires, and now the people
[0:08] out. Relief efforts are costing half a
[0:11] billion dollars every day. Heart surgery
[0:14] in a Kmart parking lot, the
[0:16] one-of-a-kind mobile trauma center for
[0:18] hurricane victims. The scams that came

[1:21] And while everyone is talking about gas
