Your absolutely correct.

I have not seen 24, but I can certainly imagine similar scenario's.

For instance, hurricane Rita was in the Gulf of Mexico, it was heading right for us here in Houston.

Officials call for an evacuation. What transpired over the next few days was horrific.

I-45, I-10, Hwy 59 and other major routes out of Houston were completely log jammed for a couple of days.

The scene looked like a science fiction movie. People spent the night ON the hwy, in their cars. They ran out of gas, food, drink.

After the mess cleared, there were automobiles strewn all over the place...the ones that broke down or ran out of gas, that is.

There was NO gas to be had. All local businesses along the highways were closed. Absolutely mobbed of everything. People walking off the hwy, leaving their cars to find food and gas. It was a maddening event. Trash scattered everywhere, and I don't mean a little, I mean massive amounts of trash everywhere.

Now, the hurricane never hit Houston! My point being, if there were to be a dirty bomb, nuke, chemical or bio weapon detonated within a large urban area, if there were massive casualties, People will panic in every city in America and will try to get out of the city centers....thus causing similar situations.

Desperation and violence will break out, then the ol ball gets to rollin.

And the National Guard and Army tanker trucks sent to fill folks up, had the wrong sorts of nozzles, never having changed from the older fatter "leaded" gas nozzles. Or so I heard anyway.
