That, again, would fall to the plan that should have been in place and executed by Mayor Nagin. Even without a plan, people on the road in a bus could have been gotten to just by driving up next to them, instead of trying to figure out how to get to them in a giant toilet bowl.

That plan would have to include others outside of Nagin, most notably Governor Blanco. Seeing that the Superdome/Convention Center refugees are laregly headed out of state, the failure to implement such a plan would fall more on Blanco's head.

That last sentence is ludicrous on its face. How is help going to get there if the people delivering the help don't have the foggiest clue as to where it needs to go?

The point was that lacking a plan, people would have been better off moved to safe dry land. Would it not be possible for a bus full of people to contact authorities and let them know where they are at? Most likely in that case, it would be a convoy of buses anyway, highly noticable to the authorities. Just because the Superdome is easy to locate doesn't make it a better alternative to evacuating at all. That has been proven.
