Those Who Did Their Best to Rescue the Crew

    There were many who did all that they could do to rescue the crew that day. We learned about one such man as we sought information about what happened. From him, we got our first information. Since then we have had contact with others who were there. I would like to include the names of anyone, whether he was officially recognized for his efforts or not, that tried to do what he could. If you know of others whose names should be listed here, or if you know of heroic actions without being able to identify the person, please contact me.
