Please remind me WHO told people to go the Convention Center - there were no supplies there. I do remember hearing the mayor telling folks to go to the Superdome but not the Convention center. The mayor & gov sent thousands of folks to places they damn well were not equipped to handle them & know it's the feds fault.
Maybe so, but couldn't they be bussed to the Dome from there? It would be the logical thing to do, if the Dome is the only exit point.
The CC was not an official evacuation point, so that is apparently the reason no one knew they were there for days.
I heard somewhere on tv one of the people there saying they were trying to get in the Dome, but security guards wouldn't let them inside, and told them to go to the CC.
It was just some of the guards who told them to do this.
