Those poor people.  How sad, and how devastating.  I wouldn't even have known to search out this article, if it wasn't for LC posting in the shout box about it yesterday.

"Save my Brother First." 

Quote

By the time a rescuer had swum to the family's car, Jordan's mind was made up. "Save my brother first," he said.
