Nancy Mace Made That Epstein Meeting All About Her

"Since it's already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early. As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can't breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us." She concluded: "GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS."

And I looked at that man in the face before he detonated that bomb and there was no hesitation."

Disaster at Sea: The Piper Alpha Story copes with the challenge superbly, leaning heavily on survivor testimony 61 men escaped from the rig and combining it with a simple 2D diagram of the platform's layout to give us the fullest picture possible. It doesn't have the special-effects budget that would be required to simulate the ferocity of the fire or the intensity of the thick, black smoke possibly no amount of pyrotechnics or CGI would be able to do that anyway
