00:00Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:01I'll address that too.

00:02At the scene, that was one of the bigger challenges that didn't go as well as I would like it to.

00:07We transported 17 people.

00:12We were not able to identify all of them right away,

00:14so we were not able to let the parents know right away if their children were injured

00:19or what hospital they went to, and we'll have to figure out a better way to do that.

00:23I think that was very, very challenging, especially for the parents.

00:26I know parents were driving from hospital to hospital to hospital,

00:28and that had to be horrible for them.

00:32So we'll try to figure out a better way to do that.

00:36But that's something that's – because kids don't have IDs on them,

00:40we don't know who they are, and it's just a challenge.
