There are many other stories we're going to hear/read/see about the ugliness that arises in panicked efforts to survive. Some of them we've heard already, but I fear that those will pale in comparison with what may eventually come out. While the implication of this thread is that TSA somehow contributed to slowing down efforts to evacuate people (and this still remains to be proven by a credible source), the truth is that government officials at local, state and federal levels made some pretty stupid decisions that DID contribute to the tragedy.
