Friday's landslide incident is no doubt, still fresh in our minds. What happened to the late Patricia Bowman was as unexpected as the response the situation received. To this day I don't think anyone has yet realized how serious this is. I have given it much thought since then, trying to figure out exactly what happened through out that day. Many questions and concerns circulate my head and I'm sure many others are wondering the same thing as well: Mek dem tek so long???
If the incident occurred at 11:00am why did it take more than three hours for clean up of the area to begin? This questions highlights how we as a country take things for granted and how quickly NEMO responds to disasters. During a television interview, I watched on as the NEMO
tried their very best to make up silly reasons for their late response to the situation. Articles after articles were bent towards the fact that they took so long to enter the search and rescue mode. Unfortunately Mr. NEMO did not do justice to convince me and many other Vincentians. Mr. NEMO stated that no one told them that there might be a possibility of a car being buried under the debris until sometime after 2:00pm that afternoon.
Hey NEMO Jax wall bruk-way. Yuh kno wey da dey? No it ain't dey on the main road. It bruk-way pon a road da deserted. Not a single soul duz drive past dey to go home, cuz about half the population live on the Windward side and everybody decided to use the cross country road and the helicopter dem. Somebody saw smoke coming from the debris. The van driver who narrowly escaped death said that there was a car in front of him and he wasn't sure if the car escaped, but THAT doesn't mean that someone is trapped under there....
Allow me to take this opportunity to correct an error that was made in a previous post. The incident did not take place in Prospect, it's Ratho Mill.
Right so I have already established the fact that common sense isn't so common as we would like to believe. A post-mortem on Bowman's body revealed that she died of suffocation, which could only mean one thing; she didn't necessarily die on the spot, so there was still a chance, even tho' it may be very small, that they would have found her alive. How long it took for her to see the light no one knows, but the fact remains NEMO tek too damn long man.
Nehuz......tons of information in the Newspaper and on the Internet.
