Washington Landslide Update #4: Finding Victims

A friend of mine on Facebook asked about how effective the emergency response has been along with the media coverage.

Here's part of my answer:

The biggest problem is the mud is so thick and treacherous that rescue workers can't get very far into the disaster area.  News crews are kept at a distance for their own safety and so they don't get in the way of rescue teams.  So they're left on the outskirts with little to do but speculate--like they've been doing about Flight MH370--and wait for press conferences.

Here's the latest from the Seattle Times:  They are finding people now: Grim mudslide search expands.
