10 or so years ago I put together a bunch of response plans for our local FD's back east. The plan encompassed the 9 surrounding towns for incidents involving things 'out-of-the-ordinary'. Well, tonite they had a car go off a bridge that carries a 8 lane highway over 1/3 of a mile of tidal river. The bridge is about 100 feet above the river. They enacted the response plan and withing 21 minutes of receiving the call, there were 3 fire departments, 2 ambulances, a dive team and the Coast Guard with a cutter and helicopter ON SCENE AND OPERATING. I doubt there will be a successful 'rescue' as the fall alone probably ended any chances of occupant survival, not to mention the 12 knot incoming tide against a normal out-flow of about 6 knots, mixed with floating ice and unpredictable back-flows, but it's nice to know my plan is still being used and works relatively well!
Very cool stuff there fuzzy!!!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 
Later bud, rest.
Guess that clears up the "was it a fart" question.

What's up Matt.
Hey Rick, when I get the blower going tomorrow, I could always set the trailer next to the lane and blow some in when I pass. Wouldn't take long to fill it. Then you can just come hook up.
