Stumbling Storm-Aid Effort Put Tons of Ice on Trips to Nowhere

91,000 tons of ice was ordered by FEMA for hurricane victims. Most of it never got to them, because either most of it wasn't needed or there wasn't the infrastructure in place to handle it. Even worse, most of the hauling was done by private contractors, who FEMA has paid more than $100 million.
