Trapped in the catscan? How the hell did that happen? Any details before i go for my next one?
And L36 FAST? Maybe L46?  Maybe just a typo. If not,where were L's 33, 37, 38, 56, or 59?
 
The X-ray machine malfunctioned and crushed the patient inside.  Rescue used portable hurst tool to gain access and free victim.
 
Malfunctioned? That's one hell of a malfunction. Did it also fry the poor the guy?

When I first read this I thought basically the same thing. I couldn't believe this. And I also was interested in hearing some of the details.

Being trapped in a catscan is not something that is heard of. If there are any more details on this incident, maybe we can get some idea of what was done to effect this unusual type of rescue.
 
'Xactly, NFD. Those of us of a  certain age might find the details useful.
 
Thanks, Park. I was thinking of The main VA hospital up near University Ave. Is the assignmentin for 8744
81 75 95.  46 33 36?
Or have 43/59 replaced 75/33?
 
My old cards show 81 75 48 79  w/L46 33 37 but they were printed before 48/56 & 75/33 both moved south so is it now 81 79 48 75 and 46 37 56?
 
I am pretty sure that eng 95 comes over 3rd due to some parts of Kingsbridge Rd around Sedgwick or Bailey aves. I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm this info. Thanks
 
On vacation not working when this happened will get info upon return, this box changed with barb and i think now is 81,43,48,79  L46,59 Bn19 will verify that too, 95/36 do come across bridge into bronx but unless units are out they normally dont come up the hill to webb and kingsbridge where the VA is located.
