California Task Force Rescues

摘要

Collins features experienced rescuers and disaster responders who recognized telltale signs of a calamity. Within minutes, the U.S. Geological Survey reported a shallow, magnitude 7.0 earthquake within nine miles of Port-au-Prince. CNN was quickly airing video filmed from inside an airliner on the tarmac at the Port-au-Prince airport looking out over the city, which appeared to have been obliterated by a tremendous black-brown dust cloud that could only have been caused by thousands of structures collapsing at the same time. 150 deeply entombed survivors were eventually rescued by USAR teams from the United States and other nations.
