ummmmmmmm, the doctors were crucial so they got them out quicker. makes sense
From what I understand, this was a group of tourist that had reservations on flights out that got cancelled. They later paid a large sum of money to have private buses come get them. The busses were conviscated by the National Guard to evacuate the Superdome people. How they got hold of anybody on the outside is beyond me. I heard this lady in the hotel on the phone being interviewed I think on CNN. She was telling the story a couple of days ago. She was worried about nobody realizing they were there. She said they were down to a cracker a day and a bit of water. When I read this, I assumed it was these people. Which included nearly 300 specialized doctors in emergency management.
