So it's the airlines fault that the Governor and Mayor didn't round up every bus in Southern LA and send it to NO to evacuate people?

Some people have this asinine belief that the mayor and governor are responsible for not forcefully removing everyone from their homes and forcing them onto buses. A million people in a few days.

That isn't what I said.

I said the mayor, the Gov should have ordered up every available vehicle for an evacuation of NO to points west and north on Sat AM.

The airlines did what airlines do. And that is suspend service.

Every government owned bus in the state should have been ordered to NO - city busses, school busses, every 15 passenger white van. This should have been a standing plan for a Cat 3+ storm that is aiming for NO.

It is no secret that NO was at risk, yet there was no real plan. The plans that were in place required 72-48 hours before landfall for evacuation. And yet they waited until 24 hours until detonatin. Just plain stupid.
