I'm posting this here because I'm in a hurry and I know a lot of people will be reading this thread so maybe it won't get lost.
CNN just had an interview with 3 young college guys who used forged press passes to get back into NOLA after the hurricane but before the flooding. On their way into the city, they videotaped numerous school buses coming OUT of the city on the highway. Well, guess what? The buses were all empty! They said every single school bus was totally empty! Please, someone follow up on this today! I don't know who to ping to this post, but maybe you do, Howlin.
Of course, the CNN guy was trying to get them to blame FEMA, but the 3 guys were concentrating on those empty school buses. Watching their video (taken from their car window) was absolutely riveting!! It was bus after bus after bus after bus..... A convoy of the dang things.
I want to know WHO ordered all those empty school buses to leave without people sitting in them!!
Just a guess -
people employed by the school board to drive school buses evacuating themselves and their families.
Great post, Nita. Thanks for putting it here. I don't know how to follow up with a video report on CNN, but will see if anything pops up on their website. If so, I'll post it here.
Sadly, this disaster just keeps on giving shocking accounts of incompetence.
