Has anyone else found this curious?

No. Two refrigerator trucks doesn't mean 18 wheelers. I also imagine they are arrainged and catalogued inside on some type of shelve system. My guess being these are dedicated mortuary trucks, not a rented Ryder. I seriously doubt visions of bodies packed like cordwood are accurate. There is also no reason to suspect the trucks are full.

There's a genuine issue of emergency agency credibility as well. Until a search has been completed of the region, authorities should refrain from posting preliminary numbers.

With all due respect, they showed the refrigerator trucks on FoxNews as they were pulling in. They were, indeed, 18 wheelers, and there were 2 of them. The reporter compared it to the sickening feeling she had when she saw the same type of trucks pulling into lower Manhattan after 9-11.

Now today's story says that the official admits there are bodies in the truck(s) but won't say how many. I am just saying it is different than in other disasters. Normally the numbers are given, and then the names are given only after family have been properly notified.

It strikes me as curious, that's all. Not some wild conspiracy, just curious.
