WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: European Journalists See Optimism Amid Coast's Debris

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: European Journalists See Optimism Amid Coast's Debris: "The tinted windows on a Hotard bus muted a sun splashed day along the Hancock County shoreline. The area's tourism director Beth Carierre was tour guide for a group of international journalists.

'This county is actually ground zero,' Carierre told them as their bus rolled toward Waveland.

The 19 somewhat awestruck European media members gazed out the tinted windows at what ground zero looked like 15 months after Katrina. Christiane Reitshammer is from Austria.

'I can't imagine how it looked before. It must be terrible for people living here,' she thought."
