EROs are the best way to keep ground time to a minimum. I would imagine they had crews doing double or triple shuttles in a single duty day to get as many people out as possible. Part of me is really glad to no longer be active duty, but part of me wishes I had been there to help.

Moose -

I'm going to guess the latter half of your statement.
This is probably a HIGHLIGHT of anyone's career in strat lift I'd imagine.
Humanitarian lift - especially under such conditions as these - has to be high on the list of major career satisfaction and something that I bet those crews will be telling their grandkids about.

LIVES SAVED PERIOD.
