place the blame on nagin, thats right....because he is the only one to blame. its his fault the hurricane quickly built up and smashed the city, its his fault that he could have risked lives had he tried to evaccuate everyone and failed to do so in time, leaving numerous people out in the middle of a hurricane with little shelter and probably no supplies that they might have had at their homes. its his fault that FEMA proved itself worthless. blame it ALL ON NAGIN....we need a scapegoat.

thats the thing...the help was fleeing and not doing its job. dont ask me ask them. ask nagin and youll get a similar response. he doesnt have the power to force people to help.
they had a certian amount of time, but keep in mind the numbers they would have to evaccuate under the little help they had. think about the massive amount of people outside that you tell "yea well its too late go home because we cant evvacuate anymore of you in time,
See above
its getting too bad out now" think about how angry they would be at the moment you said that.
now say you move them to the bunker (which in fact was the superdome) where do you plan to get this sudden amount of large supplies when the stores have locked up and left? where?
no one is coming in to give them to you.
and you cant get them from 99% of the stores. you definately dont have the supplies now.
after that i find a pretty similar story to what actually happened, minus the people they evaccuated. and those that werent evaccuated would try to file some sort of lawsuit because some were evaccuated while others had to stay, they would want to know why they werent all evaccuated.
if they knew everyone couldnt get out in time why risk lives by bringing them all out there when they could be relatively safe in their home with supplies they might have already had.
