Investigators have obtained a surveillance tape from a home on the block, Area 1 police Sgt. Ricardo Mancha said. The camera was not pointed directly at the scene of the accident, but "in the general direction." Detectives were reviewing frames of the tape for evidence, Mancha said.

{what's lost is not always measurable. human history, all life history really, is a series of catastrophic events and recovery from them. going on. but there is an absence, there are absences. without proof I still know, there were many who lived and died valiantly, and vanished with no record at all. there are places here where their shadows would be, where their lives would be sung, that go unmarked, unremarked on. we don't know who they were exactly. the ones who had no story made in honor of their living and dying, who left no trace, no memory. they aren't here, they have no place in history, therefore they didn't exist. but you know they did, you know it as you read this.
these cameras in all their little clefts in all the dark corners of this awful time, who are they protecting? what are the lives like of the people they protect?}
