Despite obvious language difficulties, after the South Asian tsunami IHSART rescuers were able to communicate in the language of the heart with the victims: "We are Taiwanese rescuers and we're here to take care of things and take you away from here." As a final sign of respect, they folded the hands of the dead on their chests as if they were sleeping babies.
南亞救災時，儘管語言不通，搜救總隊的隊員都會在心中默默告知罹難者：「我們是台灣來的救難人員，現在要將你整理好，帶你回去了......」，然後將每一具遺體的雙手安放在胸前，宛如一個熟睡的嬰孩，給予他們最後的尊重。
