Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:
5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.
The hundreds of school and city buses parked just blocks from the Superdome says it all. Criminal negligence coupled with gross incompetence mostly due to the mayor and the gov created this human disaster. I'm sure all the Bush-haters are trying mighty hard to avoid looking at those photos.
Thanks for this information because the gas/diesel generator at the dome ran out of fuel on the 2nd day. Retrieving gas/diesel fuel from those buses and cars may have been difficult but possible to keep the generator running at the dome.
You have a small city with 25,000 people under NuttyNaginsDome with no facility management engineers on site. Keeping fuel in the generator should have been a priority.
Of course protecting your tribe from assault, murder, thieves and gang-bang rapist could be a small set back from advancing civilization in NuttyNaginsDome.
The Dome is a fine example of the MSM, public education, multiculturalism, political correctness, double speaking CYA politicians, lawyers, corrupt judges, greed and bureaucrats killing the good old USA.
AUSTRALIAN survivors of Hurricane Katrina told last night of their dramatic escape from New Orleans and the unfolding civil disaster in city.
John McNeil, 20, of Brisbane, said the worst point had come after two days when soldiers had told them the power in the dome was failing and there was only 10 minutes worth of gas left.
