  4. how is it 5 times the posted 105 views? 5 times the 105 would be 525 views if my math is correct. Its more like .75 times the original views.
  5. RIP Capt, I was always rooting for you and your boys....

  7. Yonkers is using TCD in Mamaro FDNY is using Odyssey in Jersey
  8. I doubt that I am a qualified source but from what I have seen, I would doubt that there are any qualifications in place for putting "Special Operations" on the side of vehicle.
  9. Reporting at least 5 dead 12 injured http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/07/connecticut.explosion/index.html?hpt=T1

  11. Link to 4guys page about the rig http://www.4guysfire.com/irvington.asp Again, I love the grateful dead logos on the rig, why did they choose to incorporate these into the design?
  12. Very interesting article about Bed-Sty VAC in Brooklyn...this article is a series of photos depicting BSVAC, its members and its operations.... http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1955560,00.html
  13. Listening to radio chatter over the years....Banksville regularly gets its tanker out for even automatic alarms. Almost anytime they have a fire call in district they will roll E157 or E158 and T8. I would find it hard to believe that it a significant delay existed considering normal usage.
  14. These are Seagrave manufactured correct? Is this using the Aerialscope II technology or something different?

  17. Any draft or pe drawings for new e99?
  18. Apparently C&O determined the cause of the fire was a faulty washing machine... http://www.lohud.com/article/20100126/NEWS02/1260365/Washing-machine-faulted-in-fire-that-destroys-Deer-Park-Tavern I am curious to know how water supply operations turn out. Bedfords supply engine was dispatched about 1.5 hours after initial dispatch...was a second of third fill sit created? Any one have the details of water supply operations and fill sites at this fire, there are lot of standing bodies in that general area, which ones were utilized?
  19. In my opinion, we have a moral obligation to the developing world to support them in their time of need. I was in the Dominican Republic for the earthquake and felt it quite violently where I was. There were real concerns about the safety of the building we were staying in even that far from the earthquake epicenter. Even though we in the US have our own domestic problems, we have safety nets, fall back systems, safe guards and other mechanisms in place to prevent our quality of life from being totally eroded from under our feet. It is a fact that Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, it is also a fact that they have none of the safe guards listed above. They were already dirt poor when this happened, now that their entire government, country, way of life and surroundings have been completely destroyed. The country is in shambles. Part of the problem is the fact that the government has been severely weakened by outside influences. The sugar industry and the commodity trade wreaked financial misery on the country for the better part of 250 years. Military intervention was been called for on the Island of Hispaniola many times. We can actually blame much of the failed government in Haiti on the intervention of foreign governments like the French, Spanish and the United States. The United States occupied Haiti for 20 years from 1914 to 1934, during this time we took apart much of the government. Since we left Haiti has had little ability to reorganize and has been stripped of its natural resources, when the United States left Haiti in 1934 and again in 2004, we weakened the state and allowed the opportunity for conditions that lead up the horrific loss of life in Port-au-Prince to occur. It can be said, and has been said, by many people well more educated and informed on this topic that while the United States can not be blamed for the earthquake, we can be blamed for the failure of their government, lack of economy and the conditions that allowed for such a huge amount of loss of life to occur. If you don't believe me read "Why the Cocks Fight" by Michelle Wucker or research Dominican-Haitian-International relations on the internet. For the record, I believe that the US should have an instrumental roll in the rescue, recovery, rebuilding of Haiti well into my lifetime.
  20. you are arguing semantics at best. The what seems to have happened was the flight staff overreacted to a common place event, just because you have never seen it before does not mean you should not know about it. That is what we call ignorance however. God forbid this was a Muslim doing his five times daily prayers otherwise we would be having a very different conversation.......
  21. Lohud article: http://www.lohud.com/article/20100122/NEWS02/1220384/Off-duty-FDNY-firefighter-rescues-disabled-boy--baby-sitter-from-Greenburgh-house-fire Nice job FF Murray You make us all proud today...
  22. It can still be appealed.....this is very worrying and concerning...
  23. Because she should be trained to recognized threats....not overt signs faith. If this was some Christian with a bible and rosary beads this would not have happened. It is quite obvious that this occurred due to complete and total ignorance on the part of the flight staff. It should not matter if you have never seen "Tefillin" before, you should know, as a representative of you employer and in this case the airline you should be aware of what poses a threat and what does not. A 17 year old kid praying with his sister would only be a threat to atheism and the paranoid, witch hunting society we live in today. With incidents like these we prove that the terrorists have won, their goal is to interrupt our daily lives and fight within ourselves to eventually weaken us.....and that it has....
  24. Better and more informative article here from the NYTimes... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/nyregion/21emt.html?ref=nyregion
