"Some firefighters and police officers have been pretty much traumatized. and we've already had a couple of suicides," Nagin told CNN.
"They've been holding the city together for three or four days, almost by themselves, doing everything imaginable," Nagin said, "and the toll is
just too much for them."

Whoa. And I thought I felt guilty. But that is hardcore. I can only imagine what they must have been through to commit suicide shrouded in anguish and
shame at not being able to contain the problems.
But it wasn't their fault! No human could adequately prepare for the scenario about to unfold on their doorstep. I just wish these officers had at
least waited to talk to someone first.
