Like many others, I was surprised to find this site. I was not only there that day but I was also a member of the team immediately to the left of Sean's team when the accident occurred. I remember that there was so much smoke on our side of the field that you could barely see in front of you. Suddenly, all we could hear was cadre screaming for everyone to get down on the ground. To this day, I still have many mixed emotions about what happened that day and it is something I will never forget. Rest in peace Sean.
