Add yet another dozen unused blanco buses to the list.

Could I ask a favor from my beloved fellow freepers ?

Can someone do a screen cature of the 2nd sceen in the video and post it here in this forum ?

This is documentory evidence that the blanco buses sat unused.

[ChadGore]

Thread needs pingers and bumpers.

[ChadGore]

Who post a screen cap of the blanco buses ?

[bonfire]

I'll ping it.

[ChadGore]

Thank you for your help.

My computer won't open the "rtsp" link above. Can you give me some info about that?

[ChadGore]

Here's the same video in WINDOWS MEDIA format:

Dear fellow freepers,
How many blanco buses do you count ?

[bonfire]

At least 18.

[Galtoid]

How many Blanco brain cells do you count? You're right.
None there. Never were.

[Clara Lou]

Thanks for the info, I got it to open. Did you listen to the report? The reporter says, "the superpower is finally acting like one," among other things, and talking about the "underclass." The lefty Hate-America BBC can go to hell.

Here is a smaller version of the image:

18 ! Thank you for your help. What's interesting is that they are not parked in rows, like the other image from the wires posted here on FR, so this has to be even more unused buses.

[dfwgator]

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

Re: None there. Never were.

"These aren't the busses you're looking for"

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

[ChadGore]

Let's be clear. I counted about 100 buses in the previous wire image (I wish someone would post it here), plus an extra 18, (thank you fellow freepers), here in this BBC video.

If each bus holds 40 people? we're talking about the ability to move 4,720 per trip times 3 trips a day for 3 days (friday, saturday, and sunday before the storm), we're talking about 42,480 that where not moved because these buses where not used before the storm, when the roads actually existed, the weather was fine, fresh water and food where plentiful, and a Cat5 was still in the gulf.
