I'm not sure how I'm writing this in a truck full of people descending from 9000 ft in Quito to sea level. It's like we are in a Red Bull extreme sports video. We are Enroute to the coast to assess the need and help as we can. We have made a great response time and Are even passing the Red Cross convoy. If I make it to the coast alive, I will be fluent in Ecuadorian Romance songs being that is all that is on. More later. We are stopping in Esmaraldas to replace the steel on steel brake pads. Seriously.
It's the smell you never forget. Burning garbage, concrete dust and death. It' s everywhere. We are in Pantagales. Houses are leveled, people are dead or missing. Yet, the people smile. They are so thankful we are here. At this point all we can do is try to find the remaining 17 missing friends and family and give the family some peace. Please help us do this. Even a small donation will help keep teammates from One Flag Disaster Response Team responding until everyone is brought home.
