A fire burns on the east side of New Orleans early Friday morning,
Sept. 2, 2005. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrine, firefighters
say they will let the fire burn itself out. The explosion jolted
residents awake early Friday, illuminating the pre-dawn sky with
red and orange flames over the city where corpses rotted along
flooded sidewalks and bands of armed thugs thwarted fitful rescue
efforts. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
