An imosity was turned on local police monitoring the barracudas and news reporters taking footage of the acci dent. Shouts of “go home” and “this isn’t a Kodak moment” could be heard. A large body of students stood on the west end of the police perimeter, ready to go into the accident scene and help remove logs. Local officials at first kept all stu dents outside the lines, but needing more manpower, they let teams of 20 workers at a time remove logs not in the area of the collapse. Despite the cold and early hour, the thoughts of four to five thousand students seemed focused on the most important thing — the safety of those still trapped beneath the col lapsed pile.
