Now that you see the 2 images side by side . . it's clear that they are not the same buses. Look at how they are parked.

To the tune of Camptown Races....

"Blanco Buses parked just right, doo-dah, doo-dah

Blanco buses float all night, oh de doo-dah day

Gwine to float all night, and etc."

Lame, I know. ;^)

There is another picture being circulated around FR showing about 300 buses under water, too.

Others will have a different count I'm sure but in the picture where the buses are parked in rows I counted 224. I didn't enlarge the photo to do the counting so I probably missed some at the edges. If we assume 40 passengers per bus that amounts to 8960 people per trip.

Hey the liberals mantra is "If it saves only one child." It appears the Mayor could have saved a bunch of children. Would everyone have gotten out? Probably not, but at least many would have.

[ChadGore]

Thank you for an acurate count !

Let's rework the numbers.

The first image has 18, the second image has 215.

This combines to make a total of 233 buses lets unused.

"We've seen lots of school buses - anybody have any idea about the Metro buses?"

That's what I've been asking. The city the size of NO (with all of the democrat pork all of these years) has to have a pretty big Metro fleet. Where were they? In fact I'll bet BR itself has a good size Metro and school bus fleets. What exactly was the plan down there.

There is a Nuclear plant close to both of these cities so what were they going to do about an accident there.

It sounds to me like the LA governmental response was criminal actually.

[SouthTexas]

Thanks for the assist in counting, I had 215 but kept losing my place.

I now have black spots all over my monitor from my pen.

[SouthTexas]

"The Inspector" got 224.

[beckysueb]

Of course the MSM will call them "Bush Busses."

You're probably right and now President Bush will have to add monitering forming hurricanes so he can direct incompetent nincompoop city and state leaders in the event of an emergencey to his already busy schedule.

[bigsigh]

18 more than drivers reporting to work
