I understand this, but what about the getting to our Citizens first. This family was so frustrated that they had to turn to the media for help.
I don't think the rescuers in Haiti that have come from dozens of countries should give priority to looking for Americans and there cannot be a procedure whereby American rescuers save only Americans and Mexican rescuers save only Mexicans etc.
And when digging through the rubble, they cannot pass over Haitians and other nationalities in an effort to only extract the corpses of Americans.
Finally, the urgency to remove the bodies is not so that families in America can have proper funerals, but rather so that the corpses do not spread more disease.
They could not dig thru the Montanna building..it sits on a hill and no one could get to it with heavy machinery to do the job of lifting the debrie.
Furthermore the slabs crumble when they do lift them...the concrete is so poorly made to begin with.
I don’t believe anyone was at all avoiding the Montanna..they did recover some there, those they could reach... and there’s no guarantee this families daughter was even in the building.
I feel sad for all who lost loved ones, but I think it’s unfair and cruel to blame any one who is helping there. Everyone is doing the best they can. Also, important to remember MSM is looking for the story and will frame it however they can to sell the story.
