At 5:02 A.M. on August 29, 2005, Power Went Out in the
Superdome. Not long after, wind ripped giant white rubber
sheets off the roof and sent huge shards of debris flying
toward Uptown. Rivulets of rainwater began finding their way
down through the ceiling, dripping and pouring into the
stands, the mezzanine, and the football field. Without
ventilation, the air began to get gamy with the smell of
sweat and garbage. The bathrooms stopped working. Many
people slept; others waited, mostly in silence.
