10. Jabar Gibson was a hero to the people he saved
Commandeering that bus and driving his passengers out of New Orleans took guts for this young man. He knew he was risking more trouble in his life, but it was the right thing to do. He had babies on the bus and a pregnant woman. FEMA didn't care

Judge Robert Eckels in Houston was an asshole, not assisting these people when they arrived. He has that same kind of Brownie FEMA mentality. Can't think out of a box.

Margaret O'Brien-Molina the head of the Red Cross chapter in Houston was also a hero but stepping up and making sure these people got shelter, whether they were an official bus or not.
