When a huge tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma, two GE wind turbine technicians trained in personnel rescue and resuscitation raced north to help. “We were trained to help,” they say. The two kept searching through the rubble until the next afternoon, when they collapsed in the command post for a few hours of sleep.
