    Pilot's Description of F-18 Friendly Fire Shoot Down From USS Gettysburg

    Id imagine there were quite a few folks on the Gettysburg, the E-2 and in the Carrier CIC who woke up the next day with freshly roto rootered bungholes and brand new ranks and plenty to think about until the Cod arrived to take them shoreside

    1/2/24 Manhattan 10-28 Box 7392

    Those videos had everything! Subway crazies, the usual crying baby on a train at 1AM for some reason, rats and the oh so familiar face of everybody who still has a long ride to go before home/work that just got a whole hell of a lot longer. Nice work.

    12/24/24 Manhattan 10-80 Box 0723

    No better way for the crane owner to enjoy xmas than a major fine because his on-call wouldnt answer! Hopefully Santa brought a new job down the chimney for that guy. Messy operation for sure with all that diesel spraying everywhere from that height. My question is with all the super-tall...

    12/12/24 Brooklyn 3rd Alarm 10-66 Box 2982

    Didn't look like there was much other option the way that place was ripping when they got there, especially after the roof came down. Impressive work to get the house next door doused as quick as they did, looks like the wind was working hard to get that one involved too.

    ORIGINAL "SPARE" NAPIER DELTIC SUPERPUMPER MOTOR FOR SALE.

    Pretty neat piece of engineering to own if you are into that sort of thing, can't imagine there is much in the way of spares for a vintage Napier-Deltic. Excellent album of the whole system running on a training day at the Rock, along with scans of the original Mack service manual...

    THANKSGIVING, 2024

    Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all the FDNY guys working a tour today and inevitably getting their own dinner interrupted by a call as soon as they sit down to eat

    NOVEMBER 2024...NYC BRUSH FIRES.

    As an outsider it would seem to me that given the news coverage it won't take much for any would-be firebug to start causing havoc all over the place, might as well get the deluge assets out there. Side note, it was interesting to see SAT-1 in operation at the Inwood fire last night, excellent...

    NOVEMBER 2024...NYC BRUSH FIRES.

    Wasn't that the basis for the city to proceed with the design and implementation the original Super Pumper System?

    Illinois college bans E-transportation devices.

    Smart move, before long those e-bikes will start looking like NY delivery driver scooters and bikes with the heavy mittens on the handlebars and shopping bag seat covers.

    11/12/24 Bronx 3rd Alarm 10-86 Box 3231

    3rd Alarm, sounds like it originated in an Amtrak substation versus ConEd. Amtrak has sent a rescue diesel out to link up with train 2163 stopped off the old Bartow station in Pelham Bay Park

    FLIGHT 587 11-12-01.

    Another year gone, still not forgotten. Came across this vid of the aircraft actually departing JFK as taped by a construction crew. Very eerie to say the least. RIP to the victims.

    Gary, In Store Fire 10/17/2024

    Sad to see, and I don't doubt thats a major loss for food and sundry supply in Gary. Some parts of Ukraine look to be in better shape than Gary.

    Apologies for the necropost but the "Captain" of the "charter" vessel plead guilty yesterday to one count of misconduct and neglect of a ship officer resulting in death, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison...
