Truck4

Yonkers ESU has A TIC in Truck 4. All of the Trucks now have night vision. Night vision and the TIC are deployed with K-9 on a search to back up the dog. ESU's Marine Unit has also used the TIC, works very well on the water.

The NYC Film and Theater Commission has withdrawn this proposal with suggestion that it will be reworked and reintroduced at a later date. Lots of opposition was presented by the ACLU and National Press Photographers Association.

Date: 08-16-07 Time: 2030hrs Location: Crandall Canyon Mine Departments: Description: Rescuers killed while attempting to reach trapped miners, (2) dead, (7) injured. Writer: Truck4 From the AP: HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) — A disastrous cave-in Thursday night killed a rescue worker and injured eight others who were trying to tunnel through rubble to reach six trapped miners, authorities said. It was a shocking setback on the 11th day of the effort to find miners who have been confined at least 1,500 feet below ground at the Crandall Canyon mine. It's unknown whether the six are alive or dead. "All rescue workers have been evacuated from the mine. Nine rescue workers were injured in the accident. One of those suffered fatal injuries," said Dirk Fillpot, a spokesman for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. One rescue worker was in very serious condition at Castleview Hospital, and two were in serious condition there, said Jeff Manley, hospital chief executive. At least one rescue worker was flown from the Crandall Canyon mine to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, said Jess Gomez, a spokesman for Salt Lake City's LDS Hospital, which dispatches medical helicopters in Utah. Officials said the cave-in was caused by a mountain bump, which commonly refers to pressure inside the mine that shoots coal from the walls with great force. Seismologists say such an event caused the Aug. 6 cave-in that trapped six men inside the central Utah mine. Thursday's bump occurred about 8:30 p.m. EDT. Family members of miners, many in tears, gathered at the mine's front entrance looking for news. A mine employee, Donnie Leonard, said he was outside the mine when he heard a manager "yelling about a cave-in." A woman who answered the phone at the mine said mine co-owner Bob Murray was not available for comment. It was not immediately clear where the rescuers hurt or killed were working or what they were doing at the time. Crews have been drilling holes from the top of the mountain to try to find the miners while others were tunneling through a debris-filled entry to the mine. Underground, the miners had advanced to only 826 feet in nine days. Mining officials said conditions in the mine were treacherous, and they were frequently forced to halt digging because of seismic activity. A day after the initial collapse, the rescuers were pushed back 300 feet when a bump shook the mountain and filled the tunnel with rubble. Before Thursday's event, workers still had about 1,200 feet to go to reach the area where they believe the trapped men had been working. The digging had been set back Wednesday night, when a coal excavating machine was half buried by rubble by seismic shaking. Another mountain bump interrupted work briefly Thursday morning. "The seismic activity underground has just been relentless. The mountain is still alive, the mountain is still moving and we cannot endanger the rescue workers as we drive toward these trapped miners," said Murray, chief of Murray Energy Corp., the co-owner and operator of the Crandall Canyon mine. Murray has become more reticent to predict when the excavation would be complete. At the current rate, it figures to take several more days. On top the mountain, rescuers were drilling a fourth hole, aiming for a spot where they had detected mysterious vibrations in the mountain. Officials said Thursday that the latest of three holes previously drilled reached an intact chamber with potentially breathable air. Video images were obscured by water running down that bore hole, but officials said they could see beyond it to an undamaged chamber in the rear of the mine. It yielded no sign the miners had been there. Murray said it would take at least two days for the latest drill to reach its target, in an area where a seismic listening device detected a "noise" or vibration in 1.5-second increments and lasting for five minutes. Officials say it's impossible to know what caused the vibrations and on Thursday clarified the limits of the technology. The device, called a geophone, can pinpoint the direction of the source of the disturbance, but it can't tell whether it came from within the mine, the layers of rock above the mine or from the mountain's surface, said Richard Stickler, chief of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. The "noise," a term he used a day before, wasn't anything officials could hear, Stickler said. "Really, it's not sounds but vibrations." Officials stressed that the motion picked up by the geophones could be unrelated to the mine, even as they drilled the new hole in an effort to uncover the source of it. Together with the discovery of an intact chamber and breathable oxygen levels, the baffling vibrations offered only a glimmer of hope for rescuing the miners, but Murray seized on the developments Thursday. "The air is there, the water is there — everything is there to sustain them indefinitely until we get to them," he said. Officials said results of air quality samples taken from the intact chamber, accessed by the third deep borehole, showed oxygen levels of roughly 15 to 16 percent. Normal oxygen levels are 21 percent, and readings in other parts of the mine taken since the Aug. 6 collapse have registered levels as low as 7 percent. At 15 percent oxygen, a person would experience effects such as elevated heart and breathing rates, Stickler said. Video images from the same shaft showed an undamaged section complete with a ventilation curtain that divides intake air from exhaust air. Behind the curtain, in theory, the men might have found refuge and breathable air when the mine collapsed 10 days ago. Nothing had been detected or heard since the five-minute period Wednesday, Stickler said Thursday. ___

A boater can be stopped by the Police for a safety check at any time. They'll simply ask to see the required equipment under the Navigation Law. To actually board a boat and conduct an inspection falls under Search and Seizure Laws and Probable Cause and all that great stuff. You do not have to be doing something wrong to be stopped. But if a boater is, it's easier to conduct an actual boarding and search.
