(Goffena is still over the second crash; ground support keeps getting delayed.)
There's a large crowd advancing six, seven blocks from the crash. Shughart and Gordon again request permission to secure until convoy arrives. Over.
General, the crowd's in the hundreds now. From where they are they can see things clearer than any of us. They know what they're asking.
Let me talk to them. this is Garrison. I want to make sure y'all know what you're asking for, so say it out loud and clear.
We're asking to go in and set up a perimeter until ground support arrives.
And you realize I cannot tell you when that will be? It could take quite a while.
Roger that.
You still want to go in there?
Yes, sir.
Colonel Harrell, it's your call.
Roger that. Goffena, put them in.
