COMMENTS: L’Aquila Looks like a Ghost Town
Natural disaster had started Holy Week too. NBC was the only network to assign a reporter to follow up on the earthquake in Abruzzo, where the death toll now stands at 289. Italy made Good Friday a national day of mourning and a mass funeral was held in L'Aquila attended by 5,000 worshippers. Martin Fletcher showed us displaced residents watching the ceremonies on television in their tents. "Even the clown took time off."
