A follow-up…

This is to yesterday’s post about search and rescue. As a number of folks noted in the comments, 4 days without water is pretty much the end of the road as far as one’s kidneys continuing to function… I believe they are hoping the daily rains are somehow getting to any survivors still trapped. Sadly, I believe the next 24-48 hours it will go from search to recovery.

Divemedic is MUCH more current than I am, and has also written a very thoughtful post from the medic perspective. It is HERE.  The title is FEMA isn’t magic.

HERE is a link to the Fox onsite updates from Florida.

  1. Dion Cini, the man that was hanging “Trump Won’” banners , and signs at Baseball Stadiums, including Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park, and Citizens Bank Park has been barred from Major League Baseball stadiums and facilities, indefinitely. Virtually all Baseball Stadiums inI America , but he’s now telling his followers to do it for him.

    What I’d like to know is WHY do they allow the Black Lives Matter signs in these very same Stadiums??
    The very SAME stadiums that disallowed this are to BLAME when that got involved in political issues. Last year when sports leagues places ,“Black Lives Matter” signs on the walls of these stadiums, and of course the NBA ( the National Basketball association) was completely in bed, BIG TIME when it splattered “Black Lives Matter” across its courts, and even allowed the players to wear BLM in their clothing.

    • Why? Because it’s all about control and messaging.

      It’s brave and noble to say Trump stole the 2016 election from Cankles McPantssuit with absolutely no proof, but have proof that Fumbles McPuddingbrain stole or had the election stolen for him and say Trump won? That’s treason or something.

  2. We all cling to hope that there will be survivors – we search for the miraculous. If I had a family member under that structure, I’d be in that same hope boat.

    However, the manner of the collapse was one that leaves little hope. Concrete pad onto concrete pad with a foot or so in between them — brutal.

  3. Sadly, past the first 48 hours, even the survivors will have devastating injuries that will most likely finish them off, due to crush damage and other life-ending injuries. If anyone still survives.

    What’s interesting is, even with the huge amount of mounting evidence regarding the structural damage to the building before the collapse, seeing the media push any attempt to blame this on Trump, DeSantis or any other republican or conservative that they can. Sad to see the blood-drinkers flail around in their evil dance while people suffer.

    • Bradford J. Raffensperger is a Licensed PE in Florida, and it looks like he may have a special inspector qualification.

      I figure it would be absurdly unlikely to be able to trace this to him.

      So, the media thing is probably desperation, and not an attempt to manage a damaging information release.

  4. The media keeps giving me reasons to despise, detest, ant totally distrust it.l

  5. All- Thanks for the comments. Sadly, I think it’s too late now.
