I'm sure once all you techno/EMS/Fire dorks (and I mean that in the most loving way possible, by the by) see this whilst you're in Dallas for the EMS expo, you will vacillate between cursing MC's wit and then drinking to said wit. Enjoy, kids, enjoy!
So true. When you have a "sufficient number of units," the traffic is effectively diverted, everything is going smoothly... Then some Engineer comes along, parks his gigantic red couch across three lanes of traffic, or better yet; right in the middle of the intersection. Gotta love it...or not.

ReplyDeleteYou post the coolest and funniest vids. Thanks for a good laugh today!
ReplyDeleteOMG I remember HAVING to transport countless people that were not remotely injured for that very reason. Don't miss that at all
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing was the fire dudes pulling out the magic scissors and cutting off clothing. Best part was the 100 yard flight.
ReplyDeleteThe whole time I'm thinking 'wow that lady in the red car is probably really pinned in!!
ReplyDeleteThen the medic shows up and it looks like the medic and the officer are twins!! Hahaha Cool vid!
