COMMENTS: Burials in Bengal
NBC and ABC both filed apocalyptic images from the aftermath of the cyclone that hit Bangladesh. Only Nick Schifrin (subscription required) of ABC was on the scene, amid the ruins of a village on the Kocha River; Ian Williams narrated videotape from NBC's bureau in New Delhi. He quoted estimates by relief agencies of 10,000 dead from the storm: "The most urgent task was to bury the dead, often in mass graves" as deteriorating sanitary conditions threaten cholera.
