Devastation

The storm was over but not the disaster, more than 80% of the city sunk in water as high as 20 feet. The roads were filled with broken trees and floating cars. When George Bush, the then U.S. president announced Emergency Disaster, the public anger outraged due to the massive loss that was caused due to the delayed action of the authorities. The crowd was angry and protesting. In the mid of the violence, officers were sent to help the residents and control the violence. That’s how Sergeant Maroney ended up in New Orleans with his troops with the purpose of saving as many lives as they can and prevent them from the increasing violence.

Stranded

While patrolling from the military helicopter, a family that stayed back in their home in the time of the disaster was located by Sergeant Maroney and his team. Looking at the military forces the family started to make all the attempts they could to bring the soldiers’ attention to them. Their home was covered with water, all the food at home was already consumed, these soldiers seemed like their only hope at that moment.
