It Was Too Late
The mandatory evacuation orders came late enough that it wasn’t possible for this huge a population to evacuate so soon. When more than one-fifth of the city population lacked personal means of transport such as cars and bikes and hence, were forced to wait for help. Pararescue specialist Maroney with his team was working day and night to rescue these people. He was not giving up on any single person he saw while on the chopper. While he didn’t remember all the people he rescued, one face from this rescue mission was about to become an important part of his life.
