MedicMom Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/08/nyregion/crews-begin-rescue-of-17-miners-trapped-in-elevator-shaft.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/ 17 miners were trapped overnight in an elevator shaft. It was a ten-hour rescue and one of the fire department tactical rescue units on scene happens to be the fire department I have been in for a decade and my husband is an assistant chief. They train almost two hundred hours a year on tactical rescues alone and have a very very good technical/tactical rescue team, and so were called to the scene. Everyone is safe, but it's making national news now, so I just wanted to brag on DH and his team. :) (We were headed for a few days away, first time alone together after this difficult year, but I guess we will wait till he wakes up :) ) 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
