Why didn't anyone send more buses to the Superdome earlier? | The whole Katrina/New Orleans thing has been bungled on so many different levels it boggles the mind. But one issue, in particular, simply blows me away every time I think about it:
<br><br>Why did it take so long to send buses to get folks out of the Superdome and Convention Center?!
<br><br>We move 50-60,000 people out of stadiums literally every day in America. And given the road to the Superdome remained open, at least as I understand it, I simply can't comprehend why 2000 buses weren't sent to New Orleans within 1-2 days. 
<br><br>While that may seem like a lot of buses, it's not much more than the number of school buses and public buses in most major cities. So why weren't all buses in cities commandered and sent into action as "rescue vehicles".
<br><br>Does anyone have a cite to an article that specifically addresses that issue? |
