Katrina: “Mind-Numbing” Scene For Reporters; “One Horrific Image After Another”

The Associated Press: “As the week wore on, TV images were more and more chilling, even numbing, in their intensity.”

“…After days of this, viewers might reasonably have felt overwhelmed. At least one correspondent in the middle of it readily admitted he did.”

“Even when you’re on the ground, it’s mind-numbing,” CNN’s John Zarrella says. “There’s one horrific image after another. It comes at you from every direction. I don’t know how we can absorb the magnitude of this thing.”
