*officer presses literally every siren he has, I'm talking rumblers, hilos, wailers, yelpers, priority, manual, even the looping sirens and the intercom system* NYC traffic: nice music lol, is that techno?
All emergency should be allowed smash onto everything that gets in their way, including cars, pedestrian, animals, buses, trucks, even if they're hauling a tanker trailer and even if a pedestrian with a stroller crosses the street.
The US should do the European way. Left lane shifts Left. Right lane shifts Right. Responder goes up the middle. Been there as a motorist and a responder...
"Hey, what do you think will happen if we use the siren?" "We'll get a head ache..." Pretty much a line from TV show McMillan and Wife, back in the 70's. Nice to see things haven't changed much.
That's got to be terrifying and aggravating trying to respond in those conditions! A few people could have at least TRIED to back up and MOVE out of the way! Clearly people don't consider that someone NEEDS HELP, and could some day be someone they love... Nice work with the Bee Boo among other epic siren mixes though - hope it turned out well.
I gotta give respect to NYPD officers I would be stressed out on that type of job being a cop in New York City dealing with traffic when you have to get to a 911: someone’s dying
Variants of the Federal Signal Smart Siren since 1991. They’re mostly unchanged, with some slight variations in the manual tone + the addition of the rumbler in the last decade or so.
It’s true. In the 70s lots of NYPD cars had hi-lo, you can hear it in the original The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. One of my favorite movies. Also, side note, NYC EMS used to run lots of hi-lo too up until the mid/late 90s. Like the other person mentioned, it’s been making a comeback.
:NYC people be like - what’s for dinner today let’s go to the Highway to get pizza or a cheeseburger. :NYPD be like - MOVE OUT THE GOSH DANG WAY!!! People on side walk :omg “all cars if u can here me then -slowly- let the emergency vehicles get through #while people record
