From the transcript
11 Years ago, on March 22nd, 2014, Washington experienced one of our nation's worst natural disasters. In a matter of seconds, the side of a mountain, a tragic massive landslide near Oso, Washington, killed 43 people, destroyed an entire neighborhood of over 40 homes, and severely damaged public infrastructure and private property. That day forever changed the people of Oso, Darrington, Arlington, the Stillaguamish and Soksweatl tribes, and they are still living with its scars today. I went to Oso immediately after the disaster to support the community and families who had lost loved ones and their homes. Our first responders were the true heroes that day, and they worked countless days and nights trying to save lives and recover loved ones.
