A man refuses to be rescued by US Coast Guard swimmer Dustin Skarra (R) at his flooded home in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans Sunday. Rescue crews searching a still-flooded New Orleans neighbourhood Sunday found more bodies and survivors, but they came across residents who flatly refused to leave their homes cut off from the rest of the city by floodwaters.
