Luis, I read every word of this post. When the tears subside, perhaps I shall have words, but not now.

``It was pretty horrific -- people with chunks out of their bodies,'' Handler said. The injured were streaming out of the building. ``Everyone that was coming towards me had burns,'' he would recall later. ``Some of these guys still literally had smoke or steam coming off of their body or skin.''

They were screaming with pain, but Cahill had no pain medication.

Some of the victims' uniforms, made of synthetic materials, had melted, not burned. Cahill cut off the clothing and doused the victims with saline solution. He asked stunned onlookers to help him get a dozen burn victims to a nearby lawn, while secondary explosions boomed from the crash scene, about 100 yards away.

Thank you, Luis.
