Please see the info and three New Orleans bus photos above at #7.
Analogy: imagine the media covering the Titanic sinking, and focusing on the slow rescue, but never ever mentioning the lifeboat issue.
It's amazing that the media has either "overlooked" (or is spiking) the fact that New Orleans' own emergency management plan called for them to use their 100s of transit and school buses to evacuate the poor.
But they simply forgot to open their emergency plan, forgot their buses, and stranded thousands in hell holes like the Superdome without food or water.
PS: Twenty year old Jabbar Gibson is being lauded for taking a New Orleans school bus, picking up 70 strangers at random, and saving them.
He also saved one New Orleans school bus. The rest are ruined, lost in the flood, forgotten.
And not one mention of the forgotten buses in the mainstream media. There are over 400 of them in those pictures, on two city parking lots.
Imagine covering the Titanic story, and leaving out "the lifeboat angle."
Great comment.
