An aerial view of flooded school buses in a lot, Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005, in New Orleans, LA.
The flood is a result of Hurricane Katrina that passed through the area last Monday.(AP Photo/Phil Coale)
Cost of 127 buses in a New Orleans parking lot.............. $ 6,300,000.00
Gas to fill their tanks ............................ ..................$ 11,112.50
127 drivers to drive them all day August 26 and 27.. .........$ 152,000.00
Having a Mayor with the foresight to use them............... Priceless
127 busses x 50 people each = 6350 people
60,000 people who could have been evacuated by the City of New Orleans on the above buses had the Mayor of New Orleans used the foresight he is accusing others of not using.
60,000 / 6350 = 10 round trip bus trips to evacuate people to higher ground prior to the storm hitting.
Instead, the buses sat, and the Mayor now complains about the lack of transportation, and blames those in charge of responding to the crisis for not getting him buses after the storm!
