Parnel Air National Guard Base: Memphis, Tennessee


Today I met with Gavin Blaire, he pilots one of the dirigibles that are in charge of surveillance. He told me about his experience patrolling one of the highways, the I-80. He told me about thousands of cars packed in traffic, everyone trying to scape from the "plague". He tells he saw every kind of cars there in the traffic, abandoned cars, burned down cars, cars with people. He saw a lot of people walking and many more trying to get gas or a ride by exposing themselves, this was specially women. How he saw every car really close to each other without being able to even open the door. But the saddest thing is that the I-80 doesn't really take you anywhere you can be safe, both ends are heavily infested. I think there was technically nothing he could do to help or to exterminate. He saw a lot of people doing stupid stuff like breaking the only protection they had against the zombies, their windows and windshields. This is a very sad story because shows how desperation can take to stupidity.

I don't think there could be anything worse than watching people die in a traffic jam. What could be going through his head? Personally, I would try to notify the police or special forces, but what could they do against this onslaught. There is nothing worse than being helpless. I agree with you when you say there was nothing to be done. There only hope was maybe driving off the road to create their own track. If only those poor souls could have been ready for what was coming. Who could be ready for that? Gavin is going to need a lot of therapy.
