MARSH HARBOUR, BAHAMAS - For the searchers sifting through the enormous pile of wreckage that Hurricane Dorian left after smashing the Bahamian town of Marsh Harbour, the only way to get past the stench of hidden corpses is to think about the families of the dead.
A Reuters journalist on Sunday saw government workers, wearing disposable hazmat suits, rubber boots and masks, remove one body from a rubble-filled teal building. Nearby, nearly a dozen workers creeping across the surrounding hellscape found and marked three more corpses that need to be removed before heavy machinery, slated to arrive from Nassau on Monday , begins clearing out the wobbly mountains of plywood riddled with rusted nails that once housed thousands.
Despite the sense of urgency that brought Belger and his team of six here with little more than their recovery gear, sleeping bags and ready-to-eat meals, searching the rubble proved to be a slow task. Retired Green Beret Joe Colon, retired Navy SEAL Richard Graham and his search-and-rescue dog Mika joined Belger's team in the search.
