Are there any aerial/satellite photos showing aftermath of Katrina? ?
I remember after the tsunami there were several photos released showing the damage and it gave a good idea of how bad the damage was in several parts.

Any links to aerial or satellite shots?

3. If you've got cable, try to catch a repeat of Countdown with Olbermann.
He showed about 10 minutes of helicopter footage, narrated by the cameraman. It's riveting. 17 miles between Gulfport and Biloxi.

The narrator chokes up a few times. He struggles to recognize the areas he's been navigating for years.

He says he's been covering the aftermath of hurricanes and disasters for awhile, and has never seen anything even approaching the devastation of Katrina.

I hope it's available online soon. It's the best reporting I've seen yet.

11. Link to the Martin Savidge clip on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC show
The most riveting helicopter footage yet. A good ten minutes.
