...told his story: he'd been trapped with a group of elderly without food or water. Every day for four days he swam out a second-story window to a nearby store, dragging supplies back through the polluted waters. Lindahl was transfixed by the man's quiet heroism. And that's when it clicked. He would get survivors to interview other survivors, to keep their experiences alive for future generations...
