This same thing happened about ten years ago, the Coast Guard will not rescue equipment only people. Now private salvagers will recover equipment for a price but it won't be cheap. Seems to me a fee of 2-3 thousand dollars is what it cost back then to have your truck recover then.
Oh now Joey
My thoughts exactly Wayne
Sorry to hear one lost his life over this.
Could have been a lot worse
Don't think any of these guys woke up with a death wish this morning
I doubt very seriously if all that are out there used the make shift bridge, many probably went out before first light and didn't even cross a pressure crack. Coast Guard is stating the ice mass is eight miles long, 30 have been rescued with another 150 still out there.
As far as DHL goes as someone said before they choose to enter a market against UPS and FedEx and couldn't compete.
As for some of the other stuff that is happening as far as I'm concerned it's out right GREED & THEFT
I don't even have to watch it
I see first hand what has happened, the place is just a short 40minute drive from me.
I've worked for two different companies over the years that had a hand it the airpark development(first Airborne then DHL).
Can't believe the money that the German company invested in the new sorting facility just three or four years ago, one has to wonder. Between this and what has happen to the auto industry here it's not pretty.
On a brighter note a previous employer was on their way out when they landed the new sort facility contract and it made them right in a hurry.
Chris you are correct, although every once in a great while it does happen.
If it happens again get it checked out by someone who knows what their doing
Nice turnabout Forrest since Mr MacNair showed up
The fish is a real brute, had some friends see (replica) it in person at the Chicago show and they said the none of the pics do this fish justice.
Well done Mr MacNair
edit to spell the man's name right
Yep plain Jane all the way, plain pick ups, 14ft tinnies, 9.9hp motors, fiberglass rods and zebco 202's don't need anything fancier than that
I guess while were at it we could all dress and eat the same too
Thanks Randy good on you, it was on the local news here a couple weeks ago, how the Canadian honored their fallen heroes. A true act of patriotism.
Thanks Wayne!
