People were shooting at helicopters trying to evacuate the hospitals. The airport was a mess. It wasn’t safe to try to evacuate people due to all the shooting. Then… “Units from the 82nd Airborne Division began arriving at the New Orleans Airport seven hours after getting deployment orders. MG William Caldwell of the 82nd Airborne received succinct orders from LTG Honore: "Your job is to fix the airport and fix New Orleans."”
