Doug Thornton Roof Quotations

I think the image of New Orleans that America had was that image of the damaged roof. It was very, very important to us not only from the operations side to get the roof temporarily repaired, but symbolically. ... It shows we are making progress.

It's in bad shape. Whether it can be rehabilitated in nine or 12 months is not something I could tell you about now. There's severe damage to the roof (70 percent exposed), severe damage to the electrical distribution systems and a lot of the interior spaces are damaged.
