EpicFail User ID: 866412 Germany 01/16/2010 07:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Germany Two German Army Airbus planes landed in Florida with about 25 tonnes of food rations to be transported to the disaster area. Further planes were prepared. Germany offered airlifting, vaccination, water purification, medical supplies including German air force hospital planes, emergency electrical power and pumping services. The aid was ready to go on German air force and chartered planes. A team of specialists from THW (German federal agency for technical relief) were planning technical measures and logistics in close contact with local authorities. A team of 89 flood fighting specialists and 5 medical personnel were dispatched from Ramstein Air Base to Louisiana by the United States Air Force. They brought 15 high performance pumps (10 pumps with a capacity of 15,000 litres per minute and 5 pumps with a capacity of 5,000 litres per minute) and 28 vehicles.[18] On Saturday, September 10 at 4:30 p.m., the THW started the first 15,000 litre pump at pumping-station No. 19. Three other 15,000 litres pumps followed. The drainage of New Orleans would have taken much more time if these pumps and the THW specialists had not been provided.[19] The Minister-President of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate addressed a letter to the commanders of the American forces stationed in his state offering financial support to those affected by the flooding. Another German Air Force cargo plane carrying several thousand military rations (MRE) was denied entry into US airspace since, according to US authorities, they were not certified BSE-free. This was disputed by German authorities, pointing out that they were BSE-free according to NATO rules, that US soldiers would eat them regularly during joint operations (e.g. Afghanistan) and that these meals fully complied to UN rules.[20] NOW KISS MY ASS!!!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 378959 United States 01/16/2010 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember hearing about considerable aid from many countries. I do believe they gave their assistance. However, I think much of that assistance was diverted (probably by greedy banksters). I do not remember seeing much actual aid other than MRE's, water, and housing offered in many states, and continued governmental monetary aid in the form of rent and food stamps, much of which continues today. Most of the help I saw was from good and caring people living in the usa. Governmental handouts started soon after and as mentioned before continue today. Also, I remember Mexican Army doing a lot of clean up. |
