Earlier the scanner was reporting a structure fire in the Superdome.
Some random snippets heard on another board where people are also monitoring this scanner:
"tempers are starting to rise"
"...to push them the distance back you're talking would cause a riot.."
"A10 calling for all MP's to be pulled back over for two security cordons"
"We need every solider to get back here and re-enforce the perimeter"
"Looking for those second set of buses. We need 'em"
(summary)People are being barred from the area aroundthe NO center and Fema building.
(summary)The soldiers are setting up a new perimeter.
"gather up all bulldogs!"
(summary)Firemen seem to be arriving on scene, finally.
(summary)Requesting GUARDS for the firefighters now before they'll go in.
"everything is under control at this time"
"Tell the firemen to turn around and leave, over."
"hk1 to hk87"
"hk1 to hk87"
"a10 to b12"
"Mumble"
"Defender 6, Bulldog 6"
[unintelligble]
"a10 to b12"
"Bulldog 3 this is bulldog 6"
"44-0"
[conversation, 200 more people have arrived... "we've got to start talking to these people and getting them organized"]
"firemen walking into the hotel".........
"comondeering highwater equipment....."
"tell the firement to turn around and leave...."
"come again?"
"tell them we can not secure them, turn around and leave, we are not addressing the fire in the superdome at this time"
"They haven't left yet!"
"move the crowd"
"defender 6,defender 6 this is bulldog3, over"
"bulldog3 who are you trying to reach, over"
"should be about 12 mile with the buses"
"bulldog 3, defender 6 over"
"sitrep?, over"
"fire command have a couple of fireman here, the fire is under control, but it will take a couple of hours to get the smoke out of the superdome over"
"we need to get those firemen out of here, we can't control this situation for very much longer"
"will do, will do, i'll start working that right now but be advised that the firemen are still up in there working the fire, over"
"that's what i wanted you to do"
And that was the end of the mini-crisis.
