Air Boat Heroes Defy Authorities, Save Hundreds

After being turned around a number of times, they realized the only way they would get through was to break in.The couple says they ended up at Ochsner Hospital.
From there, it was the city's survivors who pointed them in the right direction.For LeBlanc, going home was the hardest.She says it was dark and people were screaming for help and they couldn't help them.
Because the state decided to turn volunteer rescue boats around when they showed up to help, Bienvenu blames the federal and state government for the lives lost.
Despite the obstacles, he and LeBlanc brought 797 displaced residents to safety.
