Oh my god -- a trooper on the scanner saying they really need help

[Ms. Clio]

I think it's at the Dome? No police officers, situation could get volatile.

Jesus.

http://205.252.89.181:8000/live

[tkmorris]

1. Yep. He sounded desperate

He said the police just keep disappearing on him. I guess this is related to the reports of police leaving their posts and fleeing the city.

[Ms. Clio]

5. "I spoke to both agencies, I haven't seen them move that fast in a week"

"they're going to get them both in line."

[1932]

37. On NewsHour someone said that police are leaving because they have

no food, no homes and have been on the job for days. They didn't mention the violence.

However, some of the victims were saying that they were being treated like criminals and it was outrageous. Some walked for three days to Jefferson Parish. When they got there they were packed into a room with guards with rifles. The people were outraged. They should be.

[Ms. Clio]

42. Yes, that was one of the best moments of that photojournalist's report

When he said the people at the Convention Center were calm and orderly and there was no need to show up with guns.

[BeTheChange]

2. Ive got FEMA in one ear and LAPD/NG in one ear..

It's almost too much to process...

[Ms. Clio]

8. I tried that dual feed, couldn't take it

[Poll_Blind]

11. What's the link for the FEMA stream? n/t

PB

[NYC Liberal]

16. Is that this?

http://www.radioreference.com:8080/lspbtr

[BeTheChange]

31. I dunno, I cant connect to that...

[Roxy66]

3. It keeps wanting to download...not coming up

[spuddonna]

4. Just keep trying... it should come up eventually n/t

[Roxy66]

7. It's not even going to my real player...

[Ms. Clio]

10. Hey, Roxy, have you seen this site? Posted by a helpful DU earlier

http://scannerbuff.net/hurricane.php

Maybe you can find a scanner feed there?

[cat_hair]

83. try this

mine kept trying to do that so on winamp: click on file - play url and then a box will open that says play url. cut and paste the url into the box and click open.

i think it's the same with windows media player.

hth.

[Maru Kitteh]

99. so helpful........... thanks n/t

[BeTheChange]

6. Did you guys hear them say that the FEMA director was triaging

The elderly patients from Charity?

[Ms. Clio]

15. Hard for me to catch some of this stuff--amazing how it can just be dead

and then something like that comes through.

[ecoflame]

53. Earlier today I heard them say this was urgent line (n/t)

n/t

[Ms. Clio]

62. interesting, thanks n/t

[TornadoTN]

9. Can someone send me the links?

I am trying the above link, and it comes up with a real player bar in a blank browser window, plays for 3 or 4 seconds of static, and then quits.

Also, what are the other links for other agencies?

[Ms. Clio]

20. See #10

[tkmorris]

21. I got the same from some os those links

The scanner I and Ms Clio are listening to is here... http://205.252.89.181:8000/live.m3u .

It should play in WMP, but be warned you often have to make 10-20 attempts to get it to work. Once it comes up it should stay up for about an hour on average before it drops and you have to reload it.

[expatriot]

12. Oh my god.... The Day After... "Is anybody there? Anybody at all?"

nt

[Scout1071]

13. Has anyone been recording these transmissions? Tonight there

is clearly military on the channel. Last night......nada. Zip. We need to have this as a record.

Anyone know how to record these online?

[CabalPowered]

25. Interdictor has mirc logs from transcriptions running now..

Can't find the link but they're pretty damned organized given the situation. Just hit slashdot.org..

http://slashdot.org/articles/05/09/02/0120234.shtml?tid=215&tid=126&tid=95

[BeTheChange]

39. Here is some.. up to a coupel hours ago

http://nola.heavycomputing.ca/nola-scanner.log/%23scanner.log-to-1400EDT

[KyndCulture]

14. post updates please... nt.

[Ms. Clio]

17. something garbled "they have control of the city"

[BeTheChange]

19. That must be a totally different feed - nt

[Ms. Clio]

23. I think I am hearing the NG?

And other emergency services?

Not really sure.

[BeTheChange]

18. Honestly, so much happens..

Ill definately post if there are any shootings or what not...

[riverwalker]

22. type it here

for the record, and for us with ancient computers

[Ms. Clio]

26. Most of the time there's nothing -- then just a burst ---

Talking about the busses again.

[Roxy66]

24. Are you guys listening to them talk about the buses not coming?

10 buses only

[Fleshdancer]

29. only 10 busses???!!!?? shit. that might cause a riot....

that is, if the refugees have enough energy. :(

[Roxy66]

32. This is insane!!! I think the drivers are scared. Shit

[Ms. Clio]

34. That's what happened last night

[BeTheChange]

35. There was something...

I think on the LAPD line..garbled

[BeTheChange]

27. Defender 4 keeps calling..

nobody is copying....

Usually the Defender 4 and 6 signs mean something is happening.

Atleast that is what Ive managed to come up with the last couple days.

[brentspeak]

28. This link is working

but there is a lot of silence between people talking

http://radio.scannerbuff.net:8008/hurricane.m3u

[Roxy66]

30. O.K....this link is working for me

http://205.252.89.181:8000/live.m3u

[BeTheChange]

33. WTF... Silence..

is anyone hearing anything? I radio silence on all streams for me.

[Ms. Clio]

36. I just heard SWAT 2 calling in?

[Ms. Clio]

38. Trying to get a helicopter for 10

I can hear that, but base says it's 10-1 cannot read the transmission

[tkmorris]

41. Ya

He said SWAT 1 and SWAT 2 were going to patrol the lower 9th Ward, that's Fats Domino's district. He was rescued earlier today but I hear it's pretty bad down there. Come to think of it, where isn't?

[Ms. Clio]

44. They are trying to evacuate some wounded people or troops?

EMTs?

[Ms. Clio]

45. Thanks for the info, especially about the lower 9th ward

The hell these people are going through is simply beyond belief.

[Bouncy Ball]

40. You have to wait.

Just leave it on. Silence, then suddenly transmissions. I think I'm hearing NG patrols.

"Command Post to C-6"

"We're patroling the lower Ninth Ward."

Those are things I've just heard.

[BeTheChange]

43. Up until that message I was hearing constant feeds...

Then silence, now its back to just the NG.. I think my dual lost FEMA

[Ms. Clio]

46. Is this what you were using?

http://www.radioreference.com:8080/lspbtr.m3u

[Ms. Clio]

47. This is a very active feed , but hard to follow both channels

[Ms. Clio]

48. I wouldn't evacuate anyone else unless they have transport

I can't type fast enough to keep up with this, but it's stunning.

[Ms. Clio]

49. They've talked about a hurricane like this for years, but where was the

planning?

It's one big hell (?)

There just has to be some coordination between the agencies involved -- that's what's missing.

[Ms. Clio]

50. NG troops basically calling this FUBAR

But seems like nobody else is interested, so I'll quit.

[antigone382]

58. No, don't!

What you're doing is very important, Ms. Clio. My connection is too slow to hear this, and people like you are the only connection many of us have to what's going on. Even if people aren't posting, I guarantee you they're paying attention.

[Ms. Clio]

61. Okay, thanks antigone! It's hard to tell with these threads

And sometimes a lot of time passes before I hear anything I can really figure out.

[Rose Siding]

71. I'm reading, too.

Thanks! I can't get the feed.

I wonder if anyone in the media is hearing this?

[Ms. Clio]

75. They must have someone who listens to this stuff, some low-level

flunky type at the very least?

[BeTheChange]

82. Im not sure they do..

Last night 1 soldier was shot in the upper thigh, and I believe killed, in the Superdome and 2 more soldiers were shot outside, it seemed. They called a code 4 with a homocide, and said they had apprehended the perp.

I didnt see anything about that in the media.

[Ms. Clio]

86. You'd think in a disaster like this, they would

Did the media ever report anything about a fire at the Dome early this morning, either?

[BeTheChange]

51. It was a spawn off of that one..

Okay, Im bad.. Ive been hording links.

[Ms. Clio]

52. I confess I had the same impulse, but I had to come here to talk

about what I was hearing.

Thanks!

[ecoflame]

54. Special Needs shelter

Medical shelter....those with medical problems, etc.

The guy just reporting that sounds exhausted. I heard him early, early this morning.

[BeTheChange]

56. We are coming in with them, hell or high water..

nt- 70 people being brought in...

[Ms. Clio]

57. We're coming in hell or high water and we're getting the hell out of there

These guys are just amazing.

[Ms. Clio]

64. Heard earlier -- transporting someone with a bullet in his leg

But they said he came to New Orleans that way.

[BeTheChange]

66. I think that feed is out of Baton Rouge..

I cant be positive..

Do you have any feeds with the Superdome.. Defender, Pelican?

[Ms. Clio]

68. Not sure what I'm hearing now, haven't heard Defender or Pelican

for a while.

[Ms. Clio]

69. Talking about a stolen bus at LSU? Sending someone to handle

the situation and secure the bus?

[BeTheChange]

70. Did you hear that they apprehended the guy who stole the bus..

first ive heard of a stolen bus. but Im just hopping channels.

[BeTheChange]

72. Bus filled with evacuees..

they are demanding to be taken to the shelter...

[Ms. Clio]

73. The bus is full of evacuees -- might not really be "stolen"

[NYC Liberal]

74. Are you listening to the dual feed?

I've been listening to it but I can't make sense out of it with the two feeds coming in at once.

[Ms. Clio]

76. Yes, I'm trying to, but it is hard to make sense of it

[BeTheChange]

77. I am..

Im used to it by this point. When one ear gets interesting, I take the other side off for a second.

[BeTheChange]

78. Oh.. I also used to do emergency dispatch.. that doesnt hurt either ;) nt

http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/polcodes.htm

[BeTheChange]

80. Kinda like that "Renegade" bus last night nt

[Ms. Clio]

84. Yeah, filled with dangerous outlaw refugees

[BeTheChange]

92. Armed robberies

Light Skinned black man in a camoflauged hat in a black newer model maxima just did 3 armed robberies in the south boulevard area..

Be on the look out, just on the other side, south of the bridge.

[dweller]

96. on our local NC news

was a story of someone who stole a schoolbus (took matters in own hands they said) and drove it to evacuate some victims in the Gulf.

i was flipping channels, and they announced this right before a break, so i missed any more details.

dp

[Ms. Clio]

98. Damn, good for him!!

[BeTheChange]

55. There dont seem to be that many of us that need total coverage...

in this manner...

Heh..

I had to slap myself in the head and ask why I wasnt sharing.

[Ms. Clio]

59. It's just amazing to me --- listening to the people on the ground trying

to cope, while Baghdad Brown says all is "relatively well."

The wonder of the internets.

[Desertrose]

60. Thanks everyone for sharing what you are hearing.....

really...thank you.

DR

[Ms. Clio]

63. Sure thing, thanks for listening

[Ms. Clio]

65. Now someone asking how long some guys have been on duty?

23 hours

[Ms. Clio]

67. No fuel -- just trying to get a few gallons

[Ms. Clio]

87. What is St. Charles of Napoleon (?) anyone know?

[Ms. Clio]

89. I-troop Convoy set up at the Dome

[NYC Liberal]

90. "Black male driving a black Maxima committed armed robbery"

"They're Robbing people walking in the streets"

"Wearing a camoflouged hat"

[Chichiri]

91. Started a new thread for the scanner feed

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4570221&mesg_id=4570221

[Ms. Clio]

94. great, thanks

[Pallas180]

95. Are you hearing anything about the people at the convention

center?

this is unbelievable.

these people are going to start dropping like flies, from the heat,
from hypothermia, from hunger, from sickness.

And thanks. Do keep a record.

We're afraid they're trying to get the black people to riot - so that they'll have a reason not to rescue them.

[Ms. Clio]

97. I very clearly heard someone ask a couple of hours ago if he could

confirm a delivery of food and water to the Convention Center.

I did not hear the response.

They are trying to demonize these folks, yes--they are "too dangerous to evacuate." It's so vile.

I also heard some sneering comment earlier from one guy about how someplace was going to be getting some "very interesting new residents."

[BeTheChange]

100. Come to the new thread..

There was just a hostage situation in Hall E of the Convention Center, prisoner in Custody.
