I can see it now....Nagin announces that there's an Amtrak train available- the last train outa town as it were- a train that can accomodate "several hundred passengers" according to the fine news story ape posted.
Then several thousand show up to take the train, and what do we have?
it's called a riot.

Typical. If the story had been about Bush making the decision to not allow anyone on the train mavdog would be lining up to call for his head. But, since it was their precious mayor Nagin they insist on making excuses.
Bottom line....it would have made a difference to several hundred. And those several hundred could have been evacuated in an orderly manner. To say otherwise is ridiculous and shows no comprehension of evacuation techniques. And yes...I've been through several both as a former citizen of Corpus Christi and Houston and as an emergency responder. If you insist on the "riot" angle you are being either obtuse or just ignorant. Of course, all in this forum know you to be both.
