No doubt, we're headed straight into the nutcase nadinocalypse...really....a nadinocalyptic nadinocalypse.
If you read the script and understand the script, anyone can do this.
And yes, I know...everything.
Nutcase nadin, with the goo goo googly eyes.

Ok I want you people to understand something right now
in a regular, every day quake, you got logistics issues... which translates into :
FOOD,
WATER
FUEL
MEDICAL SUPPLIES
TENTS.
DOGS
RESCUERS that can self maintain
yep the list familiar from many a quake and other disaster.
Here they also have people inside the exclusion zone. From a TRIAGE perspective it is not that people are afraid to go in there to get them. Just that going in will get more people killed... now or later... really does not matter.
As an Emergency Worker it gets to the point that you have to give up... and it might seem cruel... given thousands are still in the zone from what I can read... but this is the reality of it.
And typing this is hard, because these people LOOK healthy, can talk to you, and all that.
Radiation just adds all kinds of complications and if I were in charge of operations (which I am thankful I am not) after a similar event around oh San Onofre... yes I would have to write off people...
This is the way it is... cruel, cold yes... unfortunately the needs of the few do not override the needs of the many.. even if the few are a few thousand people.
Nor would I ask any crew member of mine to go in... with or without equipment. I would not ask that... either.
It goes without saying... NOBODY DESERVES THIS, but this is the very cold and bitchy reality.
Why I was hopping for these people, but as long as this goes on... yes somebody pretty high up has made that decision... and no, it has nothing to do with capitalism but all to do with TRIAGE. Oh and incidentally if I happened to be inside the exclusion zone... I pretty much expect to be left behind... that is the way it is.
