AMERICA - After Sandy, Victims Losing Patience

"Northeast Storm Victims Begin to Lose Patience at Lack of Basic Needs" PBS Newshour 11/2/2012

Excerpt

SUMMARY: Extensive damage to infrastructure and buildings in the Northeast has limited access to critical supplies of gasoline, electricity and clean water up and down the Jersey coastline and in New York City. Ray Suarez talks to New York Times' Patrick McGeehan about the state of New York's five boroughs, where patience wears thin.


COMMENT: While I'm sure everyone can sympathize with the victims, I do NOT sympathize with their impatience. To expect such very, very large infrastructure to be rebuilt quickly is NOT reasonable. This much damage will take time to repair, however long it takes.
