No car, no bus, no train, but you still have feet.

And apparently they weren't even allowed to use those afterwards.

Thanks for making my point for me.

That's been my biggest complaint about the cries from those inside NO. If it were me, I would have walked my ass out of there. Now we're learning it wasn't an option (or at least not on this bridge). The questions remain, was there another bridge out of the city and was it used for foot traffic at all?

If not, this just makes the local politicians look worse and worse. Wait around for us to save you, you can't do it yourself. Bleh!

Last time I looked, there were eight points on the compass, and west, across this bridge, was merely one of them. Can't walk west, start walking in another direction.

As for the looting, if transportation was an issue, why weren't people stealing bicycles or cars off dealer's lots for the express purpose of getting out? I'm sure some did (and good for them!) but from what we've seen, the high-priority items were guns, home electronics and jewelry. Now you tell me, are people engaged in that kind of activity worried about getting out/being rescued or are they attempting to take advantage of a situation only to have it blow up in their faces?

Any way you slice it, this was merely another example of people too stupid to pour piss out of a boot, with instructions of the heel.
