Larry Bradshaw and Lorrie Beth Slonsky: Trapped in New Orleans: "We decided we had to save ourselves. So we pooled our money and came up with $25,000 to have ten buses come and take us out of the city. Those who didn't have the requisite $45 each were subsidized by those who did have extra money.
We waited for 48 hours for the buses, spending the last 12 hours standing outside, sharing the limited water, food and clothes we had. We created a priority boarding area for the sick, elderly and newborn babies. We waited late into the night for the 'imminent' arrival of the buses. The buses never arrived. We later learned that the minute they arrived at the city limits, they were commandeered by the military."
