We all know they should have left. Why they didnt..who knows. Poor decision making Id say. Looks like a lot of them are used tomaking poor choices. Some were stranded, some too old and sick, some too poor, most too lazy. All were uneducated by the looks.
I say that because anyone in their right mind, who was told in the past that their city would flood well above their heads in places, leaving them stranded and left to die of thirst/hunger/exposure, and likely no help for days....would have started walking out of the city 48 hours before it struck.
Im curious...did N.O. ever have any public education on the danger of living in city below sea level, in a hurricane zone? If so..then these people are fully to blame for their plight. If not..and something tells me announcing your city is a death trap isnt good PR, then the city itself must share the burden of the blame.
Seriously..the day before the hurricane, everyone is watching tvs in their "safe" house...one thats always protected them from storms, seeing reports that the hurricane may come, and the next day its like...RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Even as mean hearted as I can be, I couldnt expect someone to absorb the eminent danger of it all, and escape.
Frankly I hope the overall opinion is that the city did in fact warn folks of the dangers of living there, long before this happened.
