It’s 1 week since the #SurfsideCollapse
While yesterday was a “slower” day, rescue / recovery work had been halted due to unsafe conditions, I had time to reflect on the events that’ve transpired.
It’s hard to put into words what the families of those missing are going thru

Waiting to hear news, anything
Yet in the midst of all the darkness there are those that shine brightly. We’re all watching the amazing USAR / ISAR teams swarming the pile a sea of blue and green working side by side in perilous conditions hoping to find something.. anything

While all eyes are on them, there’s a streak of yellow, Yedidim. I’m in awe of the volunteers running up & down the streets of Surfside providing kosher food & drinks to everyone. Making sure every police, fire, USAR, Hatzalah, engineers. volunteer have fresh food / drinks

(1) A time of writing there are still 159 people unaccounted for at the #SurfsideBuildingCollapse in Florida.

We who were in Christchurch, NZ on 2/22/2011 have been through something similar. 115 people died in an earthquake-caused building collapse here.

We send our love.
(2) "Pancaked" was the term used to describe the collapse of the CTV (Canterbury TV) building in 2011.

We, too, kept vigil for days hoping some more people would make it out alive.

(3) In our case, the building collapsed during a Tuesday lunch hour, when some of the building's office workers had just gone out for lunch.

The earthquake caused PTSD among thousands of people, incl. me. There were 300k people in the city, & countless others closely linked. ImageImage
