That particular stream copped in excess of 6,600 listeners - Must be a record! From the few hours i listened to the FDNY via those streams, hats off to them, handled themselves extremely well considering the circumstances, hope agencies in Australia are following with great interest on how to deal with such events. My main notice was how calmly the dispatchers/radio operators were dealing with the amount of jobs.
NYPD ESU Truck 1 responded to a hotel in Lower Manhattan to secure a loose glass balcony pane that threatened to break or be blown off and fall 21 stories. Tethered for safety by Det. Robert Stosch to a column inside the building, Det. James Coll worked in the windy and wet conditions to remove the entire panel and bring it inside. The thick, laminated glass weighed approximately 60 pounds. No one was injured.
