There’s no way you can prepare for that. You know, this area here is not going to be defined. This area here will not be defined by getting smacked in the mouth. But this area we defined in is what they’ve done after they got smacked in the mouth. And they have a whole lot of people there to back them up.”

STORYLINE:
As the Black Hawk helicopter slowly descends in Ramseytown, North Carolina, a plume of sand kicks up. When the dust settles, the sprawling sea of stones and twisted metal beams becomes clear.
