Re: 'What do you want them to do? They did not have cars, could not afford an airline ticket and are not old enough to rent a car - they are just making the best out of a bad situation?

'Would you feel better if they spread panic and starting yelling "there is no hope - we're all going to die!!!" ?'

No, Jeff, I do not expect them to do as you suggest...

However, it was some 40 years ago when I was 18 and I do not think I would have just stayed around to face what these kids might face. Many young people of today seem to not have any common sense and I fear that is the story with these on FNC. I would have not stayed and giggled for the camera...

Even at my age being older than dirt with a guadcane, I would have found a way out of New Orleans...

I talked to my daughter on the phone a little while ago. She said she had seen the college kids stuck down there on TV. She said, "You know, mom, I never before would have considered taking a ride with a stranger, but if I was in NO without a car and I saw what this storm looked like heading in on the radar, I'd be standing on the road with my thumb out and I'd get in any car, with anyone that offered to get me out of there."
