The Rault Center fire, the sniper shooting at the Howard Johnson Hotel and the Murder of Joellen Smith in April `73. Joellen Smith was an LSU Nursing school student volunteer who was giving insulin to an elderly woman in the Fisher Housing Project in Algiers. She was raped, shot 4 times in the head and thrown off the 10th floor. There were also numerous reports of snipers shooting at NOPD from the buildings of the projects. These were truly surreal times.

The Rault Center fire
the images are burned in my memory. Today's news would never show that stuff. People trying to make human chains. People burned alive because of bars on the windows.
