The Tourists paid 25,000 for 10 buses days ago and those buses were comandeered by FEMA for evac. After notifying BBC press the tourist got the buses back and that's why they were sent to the front of the line. They PAID for these buses.
How can we know this info and these reporters don't.

I don't know if you saw this - but this is true - These people were stuck in the French Quarters - one of the hotel owners hired the buses (charged each person $75.00+ for a seat on one of the buses, $75 x 400 = $30,000) - when they got to the French Quarters, FEMA took them over but gave the French Quarter tourist people a ride to the Super Dome or the people walked to the Super Dome - then the people moved to the Hyatt due to the violence at the Super Dome.

This is what I have heard. The people were tourists (brits - aussies - american from other states - etc) there was 400 of them. Most of them tried to fly out but the airport was shut down on Sunday Morning.
