absolutely entire process pure situations somebody sorry speed speeding stand sure wish
I wish I could speed up the process, ... But speeding up the process could contaminate the process, and I just can't do that. And I'm sorry we have to do that in some situations to make sure the entire process is as pure as it can be. I have to be able to stand up before somebody and say I am absolutely sure.
body child choice collection dead families focus loved saving searching slow sorry
The collection (of bodies) has been slow because the whole focus has been on saving the living, ... I'm sorry that families have had their loved ones out there. But if there is a choice between searching for a dead body and a 6-year-old child with hypothermia, there is no choice.
extremely horrible process sorry speed speeding wish
These are horrible times, and it's extremely frustrating. I wish I could speed up the process, but speeding up the process could contaminate the process. I'm sorry about that.

These deaths will have to be examined on a case-by-case basis. There are lots of variables.

I won't see light at the end of the tunnel until I see the families for these people found, ... And we're not even close to seeing that.

We swept both buildings several times, because we kept getting reports of more bodies there, ... But it just wasn't the case.

My heart goes out to the folks here locally,

There are lost people out there that will never be accounted for, ... But we can determine if they're here or not.

We were working for the living, and now we are working for the dead and the living. It's pretty tough, pulling out dead bodies.
