A former school bus driver posted the other day that the avg. school bus holds 66 passengers. Multiplying that number by the number of the hundreds of N.O. UNUSED school buses just parked there, imagine what COULD have been accomplished but WASN'T.
Interesting . . FReeper "The Inspector" has it at 179,200.
Isn't the nut number somewhere around 80k ? I mean . . there's simply not 179,200 people in New Orleans .. is there?
It's clear that the Mayor of NO isn't up to leading the city. What with the school buses and drivers, there was a system already in place to move thousands.
In all probability, the school buses move more kids each day than this emergency would have required to evacuate those who wanted and could be evacuated.
That would have left the emergency crews to get help to those who needed it.
