Abstract: 'We were under strict orders to remove only bodies. But there were lots of people on the roofs or leaning out of the windows of their houses. They were crazy with fear and thirst. They screamed, begged and cursed us. But we had a boatload of bodies, some probably infectious. So we saved the dead and left the living.’(Vincent, one of the workers charged with the task of removing dead bodies in post‐Katrina New Orleans)-super-1
