Another Unbelievable Moment

Sunday September 4, 2005
I'm breathless from feeling that "it can't get any worse" ... and then I read a gem like this (emphasis added):
Friday's evacuations began at about 9 a.m., halted for about an hour and then resumed two hours later. At midday, the evacuation was interrupted briefly when school buses rolled up so some 700 guests and employees from the Hyatt Hotel could move to the head of the line to be evacuated — much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the stinking Superdome since Sunday.
Even the folks at Drudge find this incredible. Shades of the "first class" passengers bypassing the queue for security clearance at major airports like Atlanta's Hartsfield.
