"Nobody was stuck. Tourists could have gotten cars to leave, could have gotten a plane before the airport closed, could have gone into the superdome. If they had legs and a brain then they could have walked from the Quarter to the dome."
Wrong. There simply weren't enough airline flights and rental cars to meet demand. Also, some people didn't have the money for those things.

Agreed, by no fault of their own some of these people found themselves in this predicament.
Prayers up for their safety as well as those who tried to ride out the storm.
