Next stop in New Orleans: Disaster trip for tourists

quote[Visitors to New Orleans who once toured the graceful mansions of its Garden District or learned the history of its Mississippi River plantations have a new attraction: The Hurricane Katrina disaster tour.

Gray Line New Orleans will begin offering a "Hurricane Katrina Tour - America's Worst Catastrophe!" to show the ruin that befell the city when the storm hit on August 29, breaching a faulty system of river levees and flooding 80 percent of its neighborhoods.]


I can't blame the company, and at least some of the money will go for relief.

But one has to wonder what type of person would want to go on the tour.
