The Military helps evacuate the elderly:
Soldiers methodically loaded the elderly and sick onto baggage carts -- sliding stretchers onto the shelves normally used for suitcases -- and pulled them to the open ramps of huge cargo planes as they evacuated residents of hospitals and nursing homes in the path of Hurricane Rita.Working throughout Thursday night, military and civilian agencies pulled off an ambitious airlift in 19 hours to avoid repeating the failures of New Orleans, where hundreds of infirm residents were trapped and died before help could reach them.
Good job, creative thinking, and all that, but I'm just waiting to hear someone say;
"I'm sorry sir, but your grandmother seems to have ended up in Hoboken, New Jersey..."
