ON CNN.com I noticed this film of the response to the transformer blast, that followed a steam blast from Grand Central in NYC that blew up the transformer
Mayor Bloomberg was quick to note that there may have been asbestos released.
This video is a little different from the one I first saw, but you can still see Police using hankies to cover their faces.
NY Explosion CNN
What does it take? Do NYC Police not have respirators and masks?
Hopefully gas masks?
The next video in the cue shows Mayor Bloomberg warning of possible asbestos.
After 911? NYC Police don't respond to a blast with masks?
They don't carry them on their person or in their rigs?
I'm stunned, just stunned.
