Can you elaborate?
Do they still have Higgins' boats? Seriously, they could load 60,000 people onto ships in a couple of days.
In addition near the Louis Armstrong Airport there was ten miles of incomplete levees from the Bonnet Carre Spillway -- five miles from Lake Ponchartrain; a 5-10 foot wall of sandbags along the Airline Drive to the Mississippi Rver levee near the airport; another 60 miles o flevees that needed to be raised and were years away from completion; computer models said that the low levee from Monticello Ave in Jefferson Parish near the city's water plant was a likely spot for a major flood to enter the city.
With this information in hand the fact they didn't call a mandatory evacuation -- or face arrest -- is terrible.
I just cannot imagine choosing her when they could have had Bobby Jindal.
Precisely the same as the predominant ethnicity of those who did not escape NOLA on Sunday.
What was YOUR point?
Hardly!
Saw Cooper earlier. It looked like he would need to breath into a paper bag... he was practically hyperventilating. I thought I heard or saw that someone tried to steal gas from the CNN truck (so much info). But, what kid of "trouble" is he in?
Speaking as an oil and gas income person, if enough refineries are offline long enough, wee will see rationing, fill your tank daily!
We are!
Some people have this asinine belief that the mayor and governor are responsible for not forcefully removing everyone from their homes and forcing them onto buses. A million people in a few days.
Maybe the "c" word is being bandied about (cannibalism).
The damage here will FAR SURPASS the cost of 9/11 - both in lives and $
Why is he not down there sticking his finger in the dike?/sarcasm
500,000 bytes? obviously you haven't dealt with dial up like mine....might download by tomorrow.
There are no flights fromm No to BTR.
If tourists could get to the airpport, they could get out of NO to BTR. I don't think the tourists are going to die heere, I think the people who are going to die are the residents of NO. And they would not have been flying out of the airport.
I could be wrong, but I think the airlines wouldn't have made a huge difference.
The big difference would have been an evacuation of NO sat AM with every available bus, truck, whatever. That would have taken leadership and a strong stomach.
LT Gov just spoke about price gouging and now someone else is saying 37,600 are in shelters.
We Will rebuild this city
I dont think Cooper is in NO.
Damn them all.
steveegg: CNN's Aaron Brown must not have been paying attention since the end of the business day Friday. Film of whatever he was on at 11.
36,700 in shelters in New Orleans now. Nine total showers.
