New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says up to 40,000 displaced residents are now in need of shelter in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. That's the same number of runners who would have ran the New York City marathon that up until Friday night, Bloomberg had insisted would go on. Bloomberg had for days resisted calls to cancel the marathon, saying he wanted New York City to show it could get past the storm. But Bloomberg's critics say the people of New York wanted to do the same -- and use the city's resources toward the recovery effort, not staging a giant marathon. Amy Goodman files a report from the devastated borough of Staten Island, which would have been the marathon's starting point had it gone forward.
