Both traumatic and emotional recovery is going to take a long time, and injuries are one thing, but then the emotional aspect is probably lifelong and not just for the victims, but also their families and their loved ones and extended families and that, so, it is quite a traumatic experience and, yeah, its going to be ongoing.

It was like I have seen the Chernobyl mini-series and everything was just blanketed in ash, it was quite an overwhelming feeling, you know ? There was a helicopter on the island that had obviously been there at the time, with its rotor blades off it.

Its pretty overwhelming, I mean the amount of dust and it really hits home that, you know, I can only imagine what it was like for the people that were there at the time - they had nowhere to go and an absolutely terrible experience for them.
