Listening to the absurd radio chatter of the PPD response to the small plane crash near the Roosevelt Mall. It's an outstanding case study on how NOT to use an Incident Command structure and the chaos that results. Someone badly needs to teach IC to that department!

I meant this to go into breaking news, if you want to move it mods.

First sounds very organized to me, second already a thread discussing this.

They're doing just fine given the absolute charlie foxtrot they are faced with, Learjet fully loaded fuel as it just took off and hit natural gas line. For locals EOC 1 and 3 are very active and it's already been announced no more units at the scene and they are staging. They don't want to get boxed in.

Philly's good at this kind of stuff. Communications are very organized and effective.

Video of one of the fire trucks had SQURT 8 on the back. What's a SQURT? (I don't speak Phillyese)

Engine 8 in Old City is Squrt 8 when this apparatus arrived! A Squrt (no "i") is an engine with an articulating boom that can shoot water from higher elevations.

Anyone record the dispatch?
It had to be crazy.

Ok. I didn't know if it was because they can't spell or it meant something else.

And it doesn't need a fireman to attend to anything other than the pump, just a big nozzle that squirts with a lot of reach and can go pretty high over the fire. The idea is to get four or five of them together from all directions..

Patient was a child.

FAA statement on crash

[trentbob]

My post was not correct, it was based on earlier information however FAA states there were only 2 people on board. Sorry for the confusion.

I don't know about that, they might be wrong, if it's a child then at least the mother or family member would be with them, you're going to need a nurse or doctor and you have two pilots. We'll have to see how that pans out, they may be the ones apologizing for the mistake.
