NINETEEN injured, FIVE CRITICAL. Media: Why aren't you profiling them?? [View all]

I want to hear THEIR stories. Why were they out there? How are they recovering?

Do they have medical costs that aren't covered?
Do they have children wondering when their parent will be home? Or parents proud of their beliefs?
Will they recover fully? Are any of them fighting for their lives?

Why aren't you interviewing their family members, or giving those that are well enough to talk the chance to do so? Give us their voices. They deserve to be heard.

PROFILE THEM. DESCRIBE who they are and WHY THEY CARED ENOUGH to be out there?

Are they not interesting enough, to be appealing stories? That's part of the problem.

Besides which, I'd like to hear how they are doing.
