Blackhawk Flight Crew Gets A Parking Ticket [PHOTO]
It turns out one Colorado cop has quite the sense of humor. The Blackhawk was part of the Army National Guard units called in to help rescue stranded victims of the Colorado flood. He had to park in the street, and he got ticketed for "facing the wrong way" and "parking in a no parking zone." (www.businessinsider.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As a former EMT/firefighter for 12 years who saw plenty of full-color tragedy right in my face, I know we all, including all our first responders, Blackhawk crew too, need to laugh even in the midst of sorrow. I'm sure the Blackhawk crew thought it was priceless, and the officers around the station got a good laugh, too, before going back to their dangerous and often tragic roles. Laughter is a great stress reliever, and it's very stressful to respond to such massive tragedy. Let's hear cheers for all who serve, and allow them to laugh, and laugh with them, if it will help them help others better. And my basement is still drying out from the floods, but we were so much more fortunate than so many.
Here here! And thanks for your 12 years of service work.
Here, hit Wheezer!(Steel Magnolias) Laughter through tears (tragedy) is a good thing guys, lighten up. I'm pretty sure an intelligent person knows they were just interjecting a dab of humor in a dark situation. It makes the world go 'round just a little bit better.
I used to fly Blackhawks and have also flown medical evacuation in the Army. Guess I don't see the humor. As a military pilot facing risky decisions in these situations, you don't usually see the humor as others would. Instead you know you are going to have to explain you actions to your superiors who generally view you as guilty of violating some policy or regulation until you can prove yourself innocent. Hate to see the world this way, but have been on the accused end of numerous unfortunate events that come with 14 years of flying in the military. Each time was ultimately vindicated, but at what cost.
I'm not sure why your superiors in rank would even know about a spoof like this, officially, unless you reported it. If the ticket is supposed to be comic relief it will end on the roadway. Maybe things have changed over the years.
He should have put a boot on the tire.
