"It boggles my mind that it would take more than 24 hours to clear out the superdome, when games can clear out in about an hour or so. "
Congradulations on stupidest post of the year.
Those people leaving the games are getting into their cars and driving home. These people have no cars and they have no homes. Where the hell are they supposed to go?
Idiot.
That post was dumb, but it cannot match the nastiness of your posts.

Excuse me, Sir, but you are the idiot in claiming it cant be done. The mayor and Governor knew since Monday that New Orleans would be uninhabitable for the next six weeks. They knew then the superdome was overcrowded and not a suitable long-term housing venue. They could have and should have comandeered school buses from the neighboring region from the towns and cities that, unlike New Orleans, had the foresight not to let them get waterlogged. They could have and should have moved them to other cities, army bases, etc., which have opened their doors to them. There were and are places for them to go. Beyond that, there have been thousands of others trapped in N.O. with no way out, simply because obvious measures to bring transport in werent taken.
This operation could have moved 25,000 people out in a day. Your feeble claims that something this obvious is impossible is simply covering up the incompetent behavior of the local government. Lo and behond, now that order is restored, the evacuation has happened at a much faster pace.
