Katrina Anniversary: Revisiting Vera's Grave in New Orleans - ABC News

From @ABC News’ @BobWoodruff and Alice Maggin, a look back at Katrina on the 5-year anniversary.

Hundreds of New Orleanians died in the aftermath of the storm, and in the initial days of recovery, dozens of bodies were simply left in the streets, a sickening sight in an American city.
