在这起导致11名工人丧生的事故发生之后，民主党人玛丽·格卢森坎普·佩雷斯面临着保住自己席位的严峻挑战。5月的一个雾蒙蒙的早晨，在华盛顿州西南部，41岁的营养师劳拉·奥尔特曼刚到岗不久，医院里便响起了从未听过的广播通知。
In a district shaken by the deaths of 11 workers, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez faces a stiff challenge to keep her seat On a misty morning in May in south-west Washington state, Laura Oltmann, a 41-year-old dietitian, had barely clocked in when an unfamiliar overhead announcement echoed through the hospital.
“我们平时会收到各种紧急情况的广播通知，但这种类型的很少见，”奥尔特曼回忆道。
“We get overhead pages for different types of emergencies. But this one, we don’t get very often,” recalled Oltmann.
