Tourists had the means to get out.

What means are those? Flights were canceled, rental agencies ran out of cars. Most tourists could get out, and most did, but I don't doubt that some were legitimately stranded.

I suppose the elderly tourists might have my sympathy, who aren't savy to gets to the bus station and buy a ticket, or catch the amtrack as it goes north.

Maybe I've been too much of an expat to feel sorry for someone who stay in the tourist mode when the infrastructure collapses.

But having seen tourists in their "oh, what a quaint local" approach overseas, I could imagine what the group consists of.

But I still would have done everything to get out, even hiring a taxi..

Yes, they were STRANDED! It was the local yokels who had the best chance to get out and, like idiots, didn't! They'd rather stay so they could loot!
