Our terrifying ordeal
By Sean O'Neil and Joanna Bale

TWO words on the boarding pass that secured Will Nelson a club-class seat on a flight from Dallas to Gatwick tell everything about the last week of his summer in America.

Alongside the flight details is stamped: "Hurricane Evacuee".

Mr Nelson, and other Britons returning from New Orleans yesterday, will keep the boarding passes as souvenirs of the most frightening experience of their lives, being trapped in the city's Superdome stadium.

As the first Britons caught by Hurricane Katrina returned home, the US authorities said that all 240,000 residents of New Orleans would have to leave before it could be rebuilt.

The death toll is likely to run into thousands and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that 131 Britons were still unaccounted for. However it emphasised that many are likely to be safe and could have left the disaster area days ago.

During seemingly endless days and sleepless nights, the British survivors' fear of the hurricane's destructive force was transformed into terror of the other survivors.

Mr Nelson, 21, and Jane Wheeldon, 20, told The Times how they and some 50 other foreigners - many of them British backpackers - were ordered by the US Army to gather together to protect themselves from resentful locals.

"The army told us to stick in a group and for the women to sit in the middle with the men around the outside and to be ready to defend ourselves," Mr Nelson, from Epsom, Surrey, said. "Their urgency scared us. I sat on the outside, really scared by this point, sitting waiting for God knows what. We waited and waited, I didn't sleep. A lot of the girls had been groped."

Miss Wheeldon, from Carmarthen, South Wales, said that being inside the Superdome was terrifying and that she had been sexually harassed.

"The atmosphere was extremely intimidating," the Lancaster University student said. "People stared at us all the time and men would come up to me and stroke my stomach and bottom. They would also say horrible, suggestive things. The worst time came when there was a rumour that a white man had raped a black woman. We were scared that we would be raped, robbed, or both. People were arguing, fighting and being arrested all the time."

The "internationals", as the army labelled the stranded tourists, were among the few white people in the stadium. Marked out by their skin colour and unfamiliar accents, they were verbally abused, while their luggage made them targets for robbery.

Mr Nelson said that local people also noticed that they received preferential treatment from the guards who gave them ration packs and water to help them to avoid food queues.

Mr Nelson, who graduated from Loughborough University in June, said: "The queues for the rations got more and more crazy. People were desperate.

"The physical conditions were horrible. It was stiflingly hot, you were sweating constantly. The smell was awful, a mix of sweat, faeces, urine - just a horrible, horrible smell.

That's what happens when you visit a city where blacks grossly outnumber whites, and you trust the authorities to protect you. The Army told them

to

be ready to fight, but did the Army offer any weapons to defend themselves with? I used to be proud of having been a soldier, but not so much

anymore.

Mike.

You're truly the pathetic type that would complain about anything. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem. You're negativity puts you in the latter group.
I bet you got thrown out of the service, or should have been.

Yes, some things never change. Bigots, for instance.

Thank you for sharing.

And if you were there? And gave your weapon to an untrained, foreign national? What would your superiors have to say about that? Maybe "Court Martial"?

Yea really. Could you imagine the army handing out weapons? That's why everybody should have their own.
