Our Death Dome Hell News of the World, London
Dozens of Brits stranded by the floods endured an even greater terror as New Orleans descended into total anarchy.
Young British holidaymakers MARISA HAIGH and CLAIRE WATKINS were among those who took refuge in the Louisiana Superdome. The terrified girls went through "a living hell" as mob rule swept the stadium.
Marisa, from Guildford, Surrey, said: "White tourists were getting picked on by the locals."
On Thursday, amid fears for their safety, all the white girls were moved to a nearby medical centre.
Marisa said: "We saw bodies coming into from the dome. One person had six or seven stab wounds."
Claire added: "I saw the body of a soldier. The mob had shot him with his own gun." The girls and the other foreign tourists were finally evacuated to Dallas' Holiday Inn in buses.
Another terrified British couple still stranded in New Orleans have sent desperate messages home begging for help.
ADAM FRIEND texted his mum on Thursday. Gill Friend, of Exeter, Devon, revealed: "It said, ‘I'm in the Superdome. There are dead people all around and I have seen people kill each other'."
