I gotta see a picture of this guy. This is like Ned Flanders reporting Heart of Darkness. holy shit I get it. He's a Navy SEAL. Iron in his veins, iron in his glasses.HERE IS A GOOD PHOTO OF THE VERTEBRAE AND THE TRANSVERSE PROCESS, WHICH IS WHAT IS BROKEN ON ME IN FOUR PLACES ON MY RIGHT SIDE NOW! ARGH!
In these situations I always try to look at others to also verify I’m not more injured than I actually think I am. It’s hard to tell when you’ve been impacted like this.
On the way up I also saw one of the fatalities. He was familiar and I stopped to check his pulse, but as I painfully bent down realized it was to late. He was gone. I found out why he seemed familiar later, as we had met a number of times at rail advocacy group dinners. RIP Jim Hamre! We’ll miss you good sir.
