As the recovery process nears its conclusion, the work of the coroners and investigators continues. They will now try to piece together the final moments of the victims’ lives, not only for the sake of the legal record but to provide some understanding for the families who have been left to grapple with the unimaginable loss. The bravery of the search and rescue teams—who risked their own lives in the unstable conditions to recover the victims—cannot be overstated. Their work was nothing short of heroic, and their commitment to bringing the victims home was a testament to the dedication of the people who put others above themselves, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
