Good Morning, X 🙏
God First.
Always.
One week ago today, this was just another quiet Saturday in Wainwright.
By the evening, nothing was the same.
6 years ago I learned life can change in a second.
This week, the whole town learned it with me.
Hug your people.
Tell oday, not tomorrow.

Just one week ago, nobody knew where Wainwright, Alberta was.
Then, a "CODE ORANGE" echoed throughout the halls of the hospital.
There had been a MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) at CFB Wainwright.
Everyone ran with whatever they could to the front entrance including stretchers, elchairs.
Shortly thereafter I filmed 3 military ambulances and 1 regular ambulance pulling into our hospital parking lot, and 900K+ people watched! 👀
Now the whole world is talking about this little prairie town.
Do not ever forget that Sgt. Morgan Wong, Pte. Shaun Farrell, Pte. Aidan Goulding and Pte. Hayden Lykkemark gave their lives serving this country 🫡
Wainwright will carry these names forever 🇨🇦🙏

Here is a timeline of events from the MCI at CFB Wainwright.
It was a normal Saturday just like any other.
Shortly before four o'clock there was a "CODE ORANGE" that had echoed throughout the halls of the hospital.
I went out front to see what all the commotion was and there with no doors or windows sitting in the parking lot.
I knew at this time that things were about to pick up and it was about to get catastrophic around here.
After that, there was a white military SUV that dropped off two casualties.
Next was the military truck (HLV) carrying in at least five severely wounded to the point where they needed to be put on stretchers because they could not walk themselves.
Now the four military ambulances came rolling in with medical personnel ready to go.
They were taking everything from stretchers and gurneys and manual wheelchairs to the front emergency entrance to help who was coming next.
After the military ambulances was the military pickup with the wounded soldier that ran by me in his underwear.
Yes, he "ran" by me in his blue underwear.
His pants were shredded to tatters.
His legs were severely burned to the point that they were yellow.
I could see the burnt skin on his wrist as he ran by me.
These were just some of the things I was witness to for the next twelve hours.
Hug your loved ones and be safe out there for we know tomorrow is not promised.
I will be here at the hospital to help the wounded anyway i can when they come here.
For I know about denial and depression and even worse thoughts.
Failure is not an option.
There is a reason and a mission and a purpose for each of us being here.
Take care of one another ❤️
(You can also see the manual chair & another chair out front to receive the wounded)
