Disregard....got it...and I need a flare please.

Over the years Feiner has come up with some pretty wacky, off-the-wall ideas and this doozy is no different. While dreaming big dreams he leaves out the single most important part: who is going to pay?
The TZ bridge is way past it's intended life expectancy already, it's deteriorating faster than they can keep up with and that's having millions of toll dollars being thrown at it every year. Frankly, I'm surprised it's still floating!
Getting his name in the papers is Paul's job#1= Mission accomplished.

Sounds like the type of place you would live....oh yeh you do live along a long bridge with condos built along it......LOL

I was just watching the same episode. I have no training in swift water rescue, so I really would not even know where to begin on this. For those that have not seen the episode, or want another look here is the video. Explore the Hidden River - Off Limits .

Bump! The event is tomorrow. Here are some updates on what should and shouldn't be there... (according to NYCAviation)
For all the photographers planning on attending, bring everything you got! This is the only legal opportunity to shoot photographs on PANYNJ property. Also, becuase next week is UN Week, there may be some very nice VIP aircraft on the ground.

Oftentimes we've had the pleasure of hearing directly from some of those people involved in an incident or photo we have been discussing come on here and enlighten everyone as to what was happening on the scene or behind the scenes when the image was captured, including the good, the bad and the ugly.
We're fortunate to hear "their side" because as we all know, unless we were there, that split-second frozen in time might not always be the whole story or even part of the story, and we have already made up our collective minds as to what it is we're seeing.

Entergy will conduct a test of all Indian Point sirens in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties on Wednesday, Sept. 14, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 14. All the sirens will be sounded for four minutes at full volume followed by an activation of the Emergency Alert System on radio and television stations. This is only a test. No response on the part of the public is necessary.
In an actual emergency, the sirens would sound continuously at full volume for four minutes, followed by the broadcast of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message on radio and television stations. Sirens are not a signal to evacuate, but rather for people to tune to an EAS radio or TV station for information and instructions

Located in northeastern Westchester County, the Somers Fire Department has taken delivery of their newest Chief's vehicle, a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban.

Serving as both a first response vehicle and incident command post, 2443 incorporates an all LED Whelen lighting system that includes a Freedom FX lightbar, 700 series and LINZ6 series Super LEDs behind the grille, M4 LEDs on each outer corner and on the rear cargo door and 4 LAW HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights. Strip Lite and LINZ6 LEDs were added in the rear cargo compartment to provide additional rear facing warning when the cargo door is raised. All six are door activated and can be temporarily disabled by way of an automatically resetting sixty second timer. A roof mounted Dominator Traffic Advisor provides direction for oncoming vehicles. A CenCom control system and Sound Off headlight flasher complete the warning system.

A 24" Havis console contains the department and county trunk radios, Uniden scanner, cup holders, power outlets, side mount armrest, CenCom control head and storage box. The computer mount is a heavy duty Havis system which includes a multi position tilt/swivel arm and docking station for a Panasonic CF19 laptop using a roof mounted Antenna Plus Cellular/PCS/GPS antenna. An airbag option switch was installed to allow for selective deactivation of the passenger front airbag.

The exterior graphics package incorporates gold leaf and reflective elements, the department's elephant logo on each front door and a diamond grade red and white safety chevron spanning the entire rear cargo door. Par 36 Super LED floodlights were installed under the rear of the truck and configured to operate with the OEM reverse lights to aid in backing the vehicle at night.

The staff and crew at Specialty Warning Systems extends it's thanks to the Somers FD for their confidence in us to provide their latest Chief's Suburban, the second vehicle upfitted by SWS for the Somers FD this year. (U-5 was completed and delivered this past June). We look forward to working with them on additional projects in the future.
Watch for the SFD 2443 video in our YouTube library in the near future.

From my experience Con Ed electric line workers would not climb on top of any vehicle to extinguish burning cable insulation, plus they don't wear short sleeved shirts, white fire helmets, or that style hi-vis vest, particularly one that says CHIEF.:-)

Town of Orleans (Mass) Police Dept. has an antique patrol car on display outside their HQ on Rte 28.
The interior could use some restoration work, but it is clean, 76,000 miles!
Gotta love the combo-light/sireen, and whip antenna!

...I never could understand emergency services rescuing "aerial-tendency cats"
Cats don't need "saving" from trees.
Otherwise our treetops would be littered with cat corpses.
