It must have been damned scary even to lift that tarp.
Still, it was really, truly a team effort. I personally think it's incredible that they could ID the people in less than 24 hours. That could not have been easy. Nor was any other aspect of this. After decades of polarization, name-calling, and me-first-ism, the effectiveness, guts and commitment all around was very reassuring to see. Maybe there's some hope for us after all.
