Hurricane Sandy brought a big chunk of Manhattan to its knees, and as the Big Apple lay vulnerable, the looting began.
Immediately after the shock wave of water, local gangs, some organized via the Internet, began the wholesale looting of homes and firing on police. Local residents charge that police withdrew or held their positions leaving many blocks vulnerable for hours to looters. Looters were deterred, however, at many locations by groups of neighbors who quickly banded together armed with everything from ax-handles and knives to shotguns and rifles.
Jeff Smith, a correspondent for AFP's Eastern Bureau and a native New Yorker, discusses the looting, Mayor Bloomberg's response to the disaster, the altered make-up of New York City, and what the hurricane revealed about Manhattan, in this enlightening interview (29:50)
