TGI TBB
Good Before Noon and TGIF !
Up again all night, but HEY where is it written that one must sleep at night ? I know some people that stay up all night just because they can.
I know some people that work this shift and go to bed around 8 AM – Heck I’ve even heard recently of people that go to work and sleep on the job !
What would you call someone that goes into work, gets paid $25 an hour… and sleeps ?
That wasn’t a joke. I don’t know the answer and I thought maybe someone out there might know.
CHOICES DECISIONS SELECTIONS !
Somewhere around 11 PM last night I had to decide whether to make a nice Blah-g with pictures, music, dancing women (click if you’re a women for men – yuck), and a built in "Beer Tap in the Monitor" (not for me, 5 Years with NO Booze !)
OR I could edit some audio recordings and post them for you this morning.
Well, I told the dancing women to go home and I began editing audio.
What I ended up with is a funny clip of Tom and Kenny from Lower Burrell Police, a dispatcher eating her microphone, and Started on the 911 SYSTEM CRASH of JULY 2005 series.
I can tell you right now that the 911 SYSTEM CRASH is going to take at least 10 to 20 parts lasting 3 minutes each. Hell maybe even 50 parts !
If I go longer than 3 minutes for each clip those that have "dial up" modem service will not be able to listen or download.
Each clip took hours to edit down and you have to remember that I have 24 HOURS of recorded audio from the 5th and 6th of July as the 911 COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM CRASHED FOR A WHOLE 24 HOURS STRAIGHT !
So let’s get this thing on the road so I can get some sleep !
Click on the Clip you wish to hear.
911 SYSTEM CRASH 05 JUL 05 PART 1
911 SYSTEM CRASH 05 JUL 05 PART 2
In these clips you will hear the system begin to crash, people losing communications with each other, tones not setting off fire sirens on the VHF side (everyone knows that 800 Mhz TRS is not allowed by the King of Morland to set off pagers, or is it they aren't smart enough to.. the pagers, not the King)…
One wreck in New Kensington had people rushing to the scene with light and sirens on and the chief on scene CANCELED everybody ! But no one could hear the chief including 911. I could hear him on my $499 investment, but our 13 Million Dollar System couldn't !
Another dispatch was in the Chestnut Ridge area. This is where the fire sirens didn’t sound and someone elses pagers did. Well, while 911 attempted to find the problem no one ever bothered to follow up on the possible fire !
Amazing. The audio started out to be 53 minutes long. After cutting out the dead air and weather reports I got it down to a bit over 6 minutes. Then I cut that in two for Parts 1 and 2.
La da Daaaa, La da Deeee, I'm so happy I could..... see what's next !
LOWER BURRELL
Just a funny exchange of words between Kenny and Tom from the Lower Burrell Police Dept. This clip is a month or so old. Please dust before listening.
MUFFLED
Another Dispatcher Eating the Microphone. Come on Rich, who is in charge of feeding these dispatchers belly’s ?
AT LEAST give the dispatchers a $10 dollar bill and take them down to Denny’s or $50 dollars and take them to Valozzi’s Restaurant. That’s on George’s Station Road so they should be allowed there !
Have a good morning and remember, I write what’s right.. and the audio never lies.
DECODED,
