Sean, come, let me introduce you to everyone."
Christopher Hughes introduced the others to Sean Knight.
Car No. 1 was driven by the company's driver, Jim Johnson, with Christopher Hughes, a technician, and a translator also on board.
Car No. 2 had the accident. It was driven by a newly-employed college student named Kevin Edwards, who had a driver's license but not much driving experience. The car was carrying two workers and a local black family member with a child.
Car No. 3 was a pickup truck, driven by the company's logistical assistant, Samuel Hayes, with two cooks and a truckload of supplies.
Car No. 4 and Car No. 5 were temporary additions to the convoy, just like Sean's car. Both drivers were going to do business, selling China's light industrial products.
Both of them brought their families with them, including wives and children. The initial plan was to make money and travel together, but they encountered a war on the way.
