Eddie Carr

Eddie Carr was a field equipment expert sent to Isla Sorna by Hammond.

In the The Lost World: Jurassic Park (novel)
Eddie Carr was the assistant of Jack Thorne at Mobile Field Systems. Carr helped assemble most of the equipment used on the Sorna expedition, and was nervous of their operation in the field. He accompanied Ian Malcolm and Thorne to Sorna, and provided mechanical expertise where needed. He also went with the two other men and Sarah Harding to the rex nest, and had his boot attacked by one of the infant Tyrannosaurs. Though told to shoot it, Carr brought the baby back to the trailers to see if it’s leg could be broken. Knowing nothing about surgery or animals, and at Levine’s suggestion, Carr went to the high hide for safety. When a pack of Velociraptors attacked the high hide, Carr attempted to beat them back with a metal pole. However, it was wrenched from his grasp by a raptor, and Carr fell to the ground where the pack killed him.

In The Lost World: Jurassic Park (film)
Eddie Carr designed and provided most of the equipment and vehicles used by the team. Eddie had nothing but contempt for Dr. Ian Malcolm's attitude toward technology, disliking his rough treatment of their equipment. Despite his meek, slow appearance, Eddie was quite intelligent and knew a little about weaponry as well. He brought along a Lindstradt air rifle, loaded with a fast-acting, deadly neurotoxin, to use if necessary. He also brought along a treehouse-like structure called a "high hide," which was designed to act as a lookout for the researchers. When Malcolm, Dr. Sarah Harding, and Nick Van Owen were attacked by the Tyrannosaurs in the Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab, Eddie leapt heroically into action. He attached the cable winch of his Mercedes M-Class to the bumper of the trailer, trying to keep it held steady and from going over the cliff long enough for them to climb out. This action meant he went into reverse and floored the pedal. Unfortunately, this activity attracted the attention of the Tyrannosaurs. They pulled Eddie from the Mercedes even as he went for his deadly rifle but eventually pulling him out and tearing him in half between the two dinos.
