It was Dave.

I didn't know it at the time, but it was Ubin. Just sheared his leg off, sheared his arm. They were hanging. So he's not completely gone, but he's legs this way, arms this way. How do I know that? Tig got up there when he saw Dave. Tig told me what his arms and legs looked like. Take a few more shots because what can you do? We're still getting attacked. We're in the middle of a fight.
