Yes, bureaucracy and panic got in the way of common sense and community spirit. Plus all the lies and mismanagement that separated kids from parents for days. That was awful. I read a report about a 6 year old kid looking after 6 other kids (2 of whom were his younger siblings). It seems the parents were told the helicopter would come back for them, but it didn't and they ended up miles apart for days. Reunited now thank goodness but some were too little to say who they were. What long term damage will that do I wonder? Awful.
