Information Security Officer Russell Richardson, 54, was on his way to work when he exited I-45 and ran into high water at the Houston Avenue underpass.
I was a police dispatcher in the Houston area. Dispatchers were told we’d be fired if we couldn’t get to work. It wasn’t city policy but the supervisor’s policy.
@@sunshine2528 30 - 40 years ago, they coordinated a guy with a big truck to pick folks up so police could get to work. Nowadays folks are like, "You're on your own!"
How come with every single person paying between 25%-50% of what they make and don’t have a soul on the ground blocking and rerouting known problem areas.
Couldn't he just...get out of his car and swim 50ft to dry land? It seems like that was really easy to get out of. Did he really just sit in his car as it filled up with water and drown?
Just goes to show ain't no damn job worth risking your life to get to work in a freaking storm!
Same here.... work was upset that I wasn't on my way to work,they just don't care
