*IMO-This incident seemed to run quite smoothly (only from what i heard on the air). Given the number of angencies involved, i would like to commend 60 Control (Hap) & WP Comm., who are the unsung heros in these incidents. The two agencies worked very well together on making sure that there was sufficient manpower/units at the scene, as well as ensuring that the city of White Plains was covered sufficiently. Again, just my opinion.
