Ray Flood, NYPD Emergency Service Unit (ESU): Remembering the 9/11 attacks, Ep. 59
Ray Flood served in NYPD's Emergency Services Unit which deals with high risk entry and rescue missions. Ray talks to us about how he joined ESU, the training, the equipment, and the mission. We discuss talking to, and if need be grabbing, jumpers on bridges and buildings in the New York City. One notable operation was when passengers got stuck in the tram that runs from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island. ESU successfully rescued everyone from the tram that night. Next, we talk about his experiences at ground zero and the horrific days proceeding the 9/11 attacks.
