Tarek Fahim was taking videos of the water filling behind the dam in the Derna valley in Libya late Saturday night. Volunteers in hazmat suits scan the sea for dead bodies in Derna. Across the eastern Libyan city of Derna, thousands died and thousands more are still missing after a catastrophic flood hit the city in the early hours of Sunday. Almost all they find are dead bodies and more are believed to be under the heaps of crumbled cement. "This valley was a paradise full of pomegranate trees," one volunteer says as she waits for next drop off of bodies.
