So, who did you have to be to get so lucky in New Orleans last week?
The international contingent were moved to a separate area to keep them safe from the poor and
desperate, from drug addicts and mentally ill who also had no means of escape. “On the second night,
the military told us the generator would be going out and it would be pitch black. We were told not to
use a torch because we could be attacked for it,” Miss Sachs said.

Foreign travellers in the Superdome had herded together for safety, after warnings from US air force
personnel.
“There were 40 or 50 of us. The lads were on the outside and the girls were on the inside and we just
made sure that we didn’t leave any of our bags.”

The military told all non-US citizens to stay together for safety, Ms Sachs added.
They later told them they would be secretly smuggled out in groups of 10 under cover of darkness as it
had become too dangerous for them to remain in the stadium, she told BBC News.
