Every single bus in that town should have been moving residents out of the region up to two hours prior to the storm. To have parked all these buses...is stupid. And upon delivering those poor souls out of the affected area...the bus drivers should have parked up in Baton Rouge and waited out the storm...to bring survivors out the next day. How simple would that have been? And what mayor could have done that? None that I see. Sad....and they elected this character...and they will stand by him. This town doesn't get alot of pity...they want your dollars and tourism...and simply shoveled money into a pit.
"We need 500 buses, man!"
Mayor Ray Nagin
What he should be saying is that the execution of the city's evacuation plan was an abject failure and he bears primary responsibility for that failure. Man.
Holy shi'ite Batman! There's got to be at least a hundred unused busses. The NO mayor is dumber than a rock not to have utilized that transportation resource for evac.
"Yeah, but I only see about 200 buses there, and if you crammed 100 people on each bus, you're only talking about being able to evacuate 20,000 people...
"How many were in the SuperDome again? Oh, crap...
"IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!"
