new orleans VS mumbai

got this in an email

I couldn't' stop making this comparison..

inches of rain in new Orleans due to hurricane katrina... 18

inches of rain in mumbai (July 27th).... 37.1

population of new Orleans... 484,674

population of mumbai.... 12,622,500

deaths in new Orleans within 48 hours of katrina...100

deaths in mumbai within 48 hours of rain.. 37.

number of people to be evacuated in new Orleans...
entire city.. wohh

number of people evacuated in mumbai...10,000

Cases of shooting and violence in new orleans...Countless

Cases of shooting and violence in mumbai.. NONE

Time taken for US army to reach new Orleans... 48 hours

Time taken for Indian army and navy to reach mumbai...12hours

status 48hours later...new Orleans is still waiting for relief, army and electricity

status 48 hours later.. mumbai is back on its feet and is business is as usual


USA... world's most developed nation

India... third world country..

oopss... did i get the last fact wrong???

yeah , usa is supposed to be the world's most developed country and see its situation now.

india's much more better than usa in situation like this

totally agree wid u misha!
usa should feel ashamed....i mean its the richest country in the world and its asking for aid from other nations!!!!
i saw on the news that a reporter was questioning an army man that why did it take so long for them to reach the affected areas and he said because of the flooding they couldn't get there...the reporter then answered, 'well then if the flooding was a problem then how come the reporter was able to reach the place!!'

the majority of the people living in new orleans are black americans...and that is probably the real reason for why it took so long for aid to reach there.....basically the President doesnt care!!!
