KaginD,
I understand your passion on watching this video.
Passion is a chakra.
A higher chakra is compassion.
So the mother in you recoils at the conditions experienced in NO in the aftermath of Katrina.
The fact is that the majority of people who stayed and did not evacuate CHOSE to stay. The parents of the children or the caregivers of the elderly
and infirm and incompetent, were able to transport themselves and their charges to the Superdome in harsh, despicible conditions. Therefore they COULD
have done the same thing days earlier and gotten on a bus and gotten out or harms way.
Look beyond your passion/compassion and see the choices, however poor they were, that carried unforseen and at times deadly consequences for these
people.
Messing through chance with a hurricane, is like playing russian roulette with a nine shot revolver. Eventually the cylinder with the round is going
to come up to the firing position. Does not matter if you survived fifteen hurricanes, eventually one is going to get you.
It was not like the Titanic, where there were not enough escape avenues, and decisions were made by people for women and children to evacuate the ship
first. Evacuation of NO was more that five days happening, and there were only 500,000 people to evacuate.
The average professional football superbowl is attended by one sixth of the number of people in NO. And I bet that it takes about six hours to
evacuate the stadium after the game ends.
