150 more buses found in Ninth Ward

Tags: , ,

From the 9/12 article "Floodwaters also may be full of gasoline":

Some 150 buses that were moved to the Poland Avenue Wharf in the Lower Ninth Ward appear to have fared well, but about 70 of those vehicles were commandeered by the police and fire departments, the National Guard, and in a few cases by individual citizens who used them to evacuate family members, friends and neighbors.

This post has an aerial picture, and says:

They were in perfect condition and the route between them and the elevated interstate was dry the whole time.

That bases its conclusion on this google picture of the Poland Avenue Wharf.
