Your tax dollars at work OR what is wrong with this picture.

Easy Localboy, Its just funny video of clueless people launching a boat. Has nothing to do with your job. I did wonder why it was taking 6 of them to launch the boat in the first place, must be union. :wink:
 
These guys do an admirable job of salvaging a humbling experience. I imagine there was some good natured ribbing that took place that will last for someone's career. As a firefighter, I was involved in a very similar scenario. Myself and another were placing a 500 gal. Jet A fuel trailer on a remote and steep backcountry airstrip for a spring helicopter project. We parked the trailer and I removed the safety chains. We decided to reposition the trailer a few feet so I did not bother with the safety chains. Just like the video, the trailer lifted off the hitch and headed down hill towards a house. In an rather foolish attempt to turn a 5,000 lb. trailer excellerating to mach1, I tried to push the trailer tongue sideways to turn it. My wedding band hung up on the trailer tongue and it dragged me a ways down the hill. Fortunately, I got loose before the whole works hit a boulder which popped the tires and stopped everything before hitting the house. My partner that day still thinks the whole thing is funny. Never remove the safety chains...
 
It's called a DASHCAM folks, and there to protect both the officers and the public. Quite a chase, from the outcome, it certainly seems as if it was justified. Thanks Mark.

And whadoyouknow, the video is gone from facebook once again.... too bad, it was funny. And not because it was law enforcement, could have been Naval Officers, or Real Estate Agents or what have you!!:mrgreen:
