FIVE MINUTES the LT shouted. We had just crossed Ridlybank, the supposed source of it all. The view from the Blackhawk was like a view of Hell from Heaven. Those things were everywhere. I was amazed when I saw the Blackmore Building though. The horde was smashing at it, but I saw survivors doing everything to hold them back. The numbers against them were incalculable, yet they were holding. I watched pistol and rifle fire pour out of the building onto the streets below, while people on the ground continued to barricade the lowest levels. I would later learn they call themselves the Blackmore Bastard Brigade. They were magnificent.
We reached St. Judes Hospital only to find the rooftop was blocked by a very wrecked chopper. For a split second we couldn't figure out why the chopper was burning until we saw a F-16 drop two missiles into a chopper on a nearby hospital. Christ... They're grounding anything that can get out of the quarentine. We're not getting out.
More to come.
