With the bridges in unknown condition and the knowledge that the levees that did fail because their footing washed away, I think turning the truck back made more sense than having another headline read "Federally directed rescue effort crashes through bridge, driver dead,..death toll now 10,001" <br /> <br />Or, like the guy who said he would have crowded people into the Amtrak train till people were sitting in each others lap... Suppose the train wrecked, who's head do you suppose they would want for all the extra injuries due to overloading the safe capacity of the car?
