[tl-ff]

Here's the latest in tow boats . . . I think it's Marine 1, perhaps someone can confirm or correct this . . . easing the plane to Battery Park:

That is in fact Marine 1

Training for it's after FD life. How ironic, once the new boats come in the McKean is set to become to a tug boat.

watching the channel 5 news at 10 i noticed north hudson apparutes in the background when they where interving a ferry worker. i saw squad 7,msu/saftey and their rescue so im assuming they responded with a working fire assignment

How many divers from FD was involved in rescue Hudson river, Who can tell that. Best regard Peter

Looking back at the response and noticed that 2 collapse rigs responded. I know the rescue company's have there own boats but what would a collapse rig offer in a water rescue

At a guess im thinking that Collapse Rescue is on a 10-60 response regardless of incident and wouldn't have any water rescue gear. Im not sure if Rescues deployed their boats on this incident as there was so many boats operating anyway

I Remember flying into JFK the following day and getting a little nervous as we came into land lol

 

[hawaiifiveo]

I bet. One of the rescue companies did launch a boat and another was responding on a marine unit and they said they were 30min out thats s long time just ssying
