I saw a few minutes on the Today Show this morning. One boy said "...But we TRAIN for this. We have first aid kits, we know how to use them, we run emergency drills all the time...." But apparently that PREPARED reaction wasn't what she was looking for, because Ann Curry turned to a different boy and said something like, "but wasn't that upsetting to you, seeing all the injuries, hearing all the screams...."

I saw a little bit more on TV a while ago - the official couldn't say enough about the scouts - said by the time the emergency responders got there, they had set up their own triage and their first aid training and calm, immediate action had SAVED LIVES.

This story speaks to 2 current threads - one that talks about how important even a little preparation can make, and another that talks about the people (women in this case) who are training their kids and grandkids about what do do in an emergency, fitting them out with BOBs and teaching them how to use them.
