Andrew Gilligan writing in the Stnadard last night says he caught a taxi from Baton Rouge airport to the NO Superdome last Friday. The trip took about 90 minutes with no trouble or hassles en route. Apparently nobody had noticed that there was a four lane freeway open, undamaged, and 100% above water all the way into the city centre.
Even the taxi driver was surprised as he had been told by the authorities that the road was closed. In fact, he was very remorseful as he felt he and his fellow cabbies could have got thousands out with the minimum of fuss.
