Friday Funny: Ambulances Conquer Congestion
This article from Weekly World News looks at efforts in New York to retrofit ambulances with bulldozer blades, helping drivers save more lives by smashing through the city's crowded streets.
"'New regulations allow us to retrofit our ambulances with bulldozer blades to clear cars from our path,' ambulance driver Roald McCorman explained."
"Some emergency vehicles will also be equipped with railroad-style cowcatchers and spiked hubcaps for eliminating all obstacles, including pedestrians and dogs. But the bulldozer blade should prove most useful, especially during harsh winters in the city, or upstate."
"McCorman also looks forward to smashing through intact walls to reach the injured."
"'We're going to see a lot more people saved, now that we can break more than the speed limit,' he said."
