Let me add something else here. These buses would be functional again after changing all the fluids. Additionally, it'd be wise (imperitave actually) to remove the spark plugs or injector nozzles if they are diesel and turn them over a few times to displace any water that got into the cylinders. After that, these babies will crank up and go.
Let's see how long it takes New Orleans to figure that one out. If they don't, somebody will get some nice buses really cheap.
The Mayor of NOLA is an incompetent crack addict who has no room to complain.
But yes, Bloomberg has reasons to blast this everywhere.... gotta like political axes to grind.
Perfect
Let me say thanks again for doing so
You have to be a residemt of the precinct your voting in to vote for a democrat? Somebody better break the news to the graveyard occupants in Chicago that their votes won't be needed this year in Baltimore.
I think I have known that New Orleans was below sea level for 25 of my 35 years on this earth. I understood, at age 10, that if a big storm hit New Orleans, it could likely wipe it off the map. Considering that this was public knowledge, why do people feel the need to blame President Bush?
There have been 4 Presidents and countless Governors of Louisiana and Mayors of New Orleans that could have prepared for this eventuality. None of them did enough. The only difference between Bush and the other presidents is that Bush is the current president. Bush has as much blame here as, say, Clinton does, which is to say he has none.
Lets put it this way. Everyone knows Los Angeles is on a huge fault line. Should President Bush demand that billions of dollars be spent in preperation for "The Big One" that destroys LA? Of course not. This is exactly what President Bush's critics are blaming him for.
The Mayor of New Orleans is a joke for blaming the President. Maybe he should show some backbone and LEAD. The Governor is no better.
The Mayor of LA, the Governor of California, they had best pay close attention. If it were me, I would get crackin'.
Good article. I've been saying pretty much the same thing for the past several days. This all reminded me of the riots in LA when the products of our welfare state were shooting at Firemen and paramedics that were responding to fires and those wounded.
Is that 1.2 buses and 145 miles to the Superdome, or is it the other way around? Democrats want to know for sure./sarc
Superdome was protected from the flood I guess. I didn't hear any reports of it flooding. the Super Dome parking lot above all of that as well I suspect.
Why didn't you deploy these buses Mayor?
This is a good time to call for a 'Katrina Commission' hearings.
The Governor rejected help until New Orleans was flooded. PS they are not wiped out, they're wet and the local government is whimpering. For wiped out see Biloxi.
How many refugees has NYC agreed to temporarily house? Several TX cities are giving up convention dollars to meet the needs of this disaster, why can't NYC?
What was the first picture? Have you an alternative link?
Who would have predicted that the murder capitol of the US with a murder rate ten times the US average would have a problem with disintigration of public order?
The RINO Mayor of New York City. This sounds like a CYA article.
