We arrived a few days after Hurricane Mitch had done it's worst.  Most of Honduras had been destroyed by the floods. The smell of death was everywhere. We spent 4 days covering the suffering in the mountain city of Tegucigalpa and in the banana fields of San Pedro Sula.  When we got back home, we wrote and edited 7 packages for 7 shows in 2 days. Our hard work paid off though...Reporter Kim Holden and I were nominated for an Emmy.

These are a couple of photos of us taken by Times-Picayune Photographer Dave Grunfeld. We were covering the US Army Black Hawks rescue missions.  They took us for ride as the soldiers dropped of food and water to the starving villages that were stranded in the floods.  Flying in a Black Hawk was quite an experience, seeing the faces of the grateful Honduran people was truly moving.
