"Michelle Mattis, Is the Superdome done? Damage being assessed, volume 8, issue 19"

SMG vice president Doug Thorton, manager of the Louisiana superdome, is homeless along with the rest of the victims from the hurricane. Twenty four thousand people fled to the superdome to take cover from the hurricane. When Thorton arrived at the superdome, there had been four deaths or maybe more, rapes and thefts. One guy stole a gun from the National gaurd and shot him in the leg. Thorton had to leave the Superdome because it was not safe for him. Thorton and otbers were there to see if the Superdome can be rebuilt. Engineers and Architects are being brought in, but before anyone starts to rebuild, the water has to be drained because of toxics and the dome has to be decontaminted. The roof itself will cost 6 to 7 million to repair. Thorton believes that the dome can be repaired and fixed and done by early year 2006.
I believe that the superdome can be rebuilt, it is going to take a lot of time and I dont think that it is going to be done by early months of 2006, but it can be done. Thorton needs to be concentrating on getting the water drained and everything cleand up inside. It's terrible that the superdome is destroyed but everything will work out in the end and it will be rebuilt.
