🔺 HIGH-ANGLE TECHNICAL RESCUE
At about 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, the FDNY responded to 3 World Trade Center in Manhattan, where five people were trapped in an elevator inside a blind shaft near the 32nd floor.
With no direct access to the elevator car, two firefighters—one from Rescue 1 and one from Squad 18—entered the blind shaft at the 47th floor and were lowered approximately 175 feet to reach the trapped occupants. The two firefighters, assisted by members from Engine 10 and Ladder 10, brought one civilian to safety, ascending back up the 175 feet via rope.
After the initial high-angle technical rescue, members were able to gain access to the elevator car by breaching a wall in a bathroom on the 32nd floor and removed the four remaining individuals.
One civilian and two firefighters suffered minor injuries.
This is the specialized training, technical expertise and teamwork FDNY members bring to the most challenging emergencies in New York City.

I used to play this game all the time damn
Last night's impromptu Urban Terror LAN-party at our coworking day
This is why the web is so good for multiplayer gaming
Without it we'd have get 10+ people to download the same game on 3 different platforms (MacOS, Windows and Linux)
Instead I just told everyone to open ut.pieter.com in their browser and everyone instantly started playing together
Superfun 😊😊😊
i really feel like we've hit another major milestone with AI coding. opus 5.5 is a powerhouse. it doesn't complain, it doesn't over-explain, it just gets things done, correctly, on the first try. astra and sol are not far behind.
what a colossal failure, thwarted only by hero passengers and some luck

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio announces Americans will be able to apply for passports ENTIRELY ONLINE instead of spending HOURS and frustration doing it in-person
"No printing forms, no drug store hostage photo, no appointment, no line, no middleman...and REAL-TIME STATUS, [tracking] estimated delivery date."
"By the end of 2027, our goal is for most Americans to be able to apply for a passport or passport card on America .gov."
He just PERSONALLY confirmed it: America .gov will let you do the entire process online
This is massively overdue! The page is Super Intelligence-powered. EVERY nation is going to copy it 🇺🇸
i keep hitting my claude limits even with 5.5 but i did have it build an entire visual basic clone inside my vibe-coded retrofuture pc
