Is there still bad traffic getting into Surfside from the north?
Can one drive down Collins to Harding?
Not getting into. But getting south seems to be bad at the moment anyway. Use google maps :P

Medical Director of Hatzala of South Florida was going to ground zero everyday working on the building helping families etc.
...

The owner told him to come down to the store. When he got there the owner brought out a brand new $1,400 scooter and handed it to him, for free! A higher end model of the one he was asking about.

...
This is a must story to include in Dan's eventual DDMS story on Surfside and chesed (and DDF campaign).

Wow.
81 of 98 by Israel.
Yup. And they had the number 98 while everyone still thought it’s 160.

I found this a little surprising:
“The first thing Vach did, he said, was request a list of missing persons. But he said authorities told him they could not release that information”

Have not found one. I don't believe there is one.

I understood “authorities told him they could not release that information“ as they’re refusing to, but it’s possible it got messed up in translation.

I think they refused to release it because it didn't exist.

Authorities didn’t have a list of potential victims days later ? I find this very hard to believe. That wouldn’t be amateurish, it would be incompetent. MD is supposed to be from the best in the nation. One of the first things the Israelis did upon arrival was to compile a list.

Absolutely very amateurish. I also had trouble believing it, but I'm not left with many alternative theories.

As I see it, there are 3 possibilities:
1) They know exactly how many people are missing and where they were supposed to be. That number matches the numbers they've been giving at every press conference, even if the lists published by the media have the wrong names.
2) They know exactly how many people are missing and where they were supposed to be. That number does NOT match the numbers they've been giving at every press conference, but don't feel the need to give accurate information to the families or the general public.
3) They don't know how many people are missing or where they were supposed to be, and the numbers they've been giving at the press conferences are from lists compiled by various agencies and media outlets.

#1 wasn't right, because they audited the list and the numbers dropped. 2 or 3 are both unacceptable, especially if they were hiding that info from the rescuers themselves.

Typical Israeli-style self congratulatory, but still impressive.

I found him to be a very humble person watching all his interviews. Very impressive.
What’s he supposed to respond to every question, “no comment” ? “MD fire rescue gets all the credit” ?

Opposite when they were on site they did this

I heard this from CSE volunteers on site how the the Israeli team took a area,dug and almost every time came back with something while the MD crew was much more general, wasn’t sure if they had the right impression but I think this confirms it
