Fortunately, when I woke up this morning and joined the rest of the crew Adams was still on the radio. He sounded surprisingly calm considering his situation.
While Lee continued to work on the downed communications and Miller got to the drawing board to create a pulley system to pull him out, I stayed on the radio with him. He wanted me to help him draft a letter home to his family in case the rescue mission did not go well. I thought it was a very thoughtful idea although it was hard for me to write down. It made me think a lot about what I would say if I had to write a letter to my family if I was in the situation. I thought what he said in the letter was very sweet. It's not easy to introduce yourself and say goodbye to your child in one video, but he did quite well. Hopefully, he won't need us to send this to the family.
I should write one just in case. Not to think of myself, but what has happened here with Adams has shown that something can go wrong at any point.
He's been calm for the most part but around lunch time you could tell he was feeling anxious and the fear of not getting out alive was beginning to grow. I did my best to talk him through it, but as the hours passed even, I began to feel discouraged. Still, I try to express hope as I speak to Adams.
Miller is currently putting together her pulley system. I will aid her in trying to free Adams as soon as she is ready.
Please let this work.
