About two dozen members of the Nebraska Army National Guard and Nebraska Task Force One, Urban Search and Rescue conducted structural extraction training, May 23, 2019, at the Camp Ashland Training Site in Nebraska. The training incorporated flight and hoist rescue methods using Army National Guard helicopter crews who supported rescue personnel from civilian partner agencies. The purpose of this training was to simulate conditions both crews encountered during March of this year, when historic flooding swept across the state. Camp Ashland buildings – damaged by the floods when 5-10 feet of river water rushed into the military camp, and now slated for future demolition – were used to simulate residences for the training. A rescue team was first lowered onto the roof of one building by a UH-72 Lakota helicopter. The Task Force One first responders then used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the roof to gain access to the interior. Once inside, they located and secured the victim, and then hoisted him safely into the helicopter. For the second task, a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter hovered over a building surrounded by trees and near powerlines to extract a victim from an open second-story window. The first responder was lowered from the helicopter near the window, and was expected to reach the window, pull himself inside and then secure the victim for extraction. This task was repeated twice for affect. This was a unique training experience for both the Nebraska National Guard aviators and Nebraska Task Force One crew members. Both teams anticipate the joint training to become standard practice. (Nebraska National Guard photo by Spc. Lisa Crawford)
Sequence of three shots in early morning golden light. I still haven't processed this day's shots yet. This is nearly two years old. Ouch.
On Wednesday 27th July 2022 I went on an amazing exploration of the huge Dinorwic slate quarry site that is opposite Snowdon and overlooks Llanberis. In July 2021 this area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, joining the likes of the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China! The views are quite simply stunning.
The first commercial attempts at slate mining took place in 1787, and the business boomed after the construction of a horse-drawn tramway to Port Dinorwic in 1824. This became the Padarn Railway, (the first steam locomotives were supplied in 1870 by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds), a narrow gauge railway now partially preserved as the Llanberis Lake Railway. At its height at the turn of the twentieth century, Dinorwic was the second largest slate quarry in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry. It was producing an annual outcome of 100,000 tonnes" and employed more than 3,000 men.
By 1930 its working employment had dropped to 2,000. The quarry closed in July 1969, the result of industrial decline and difficult slate removal. During the 1950s/60s extraction had become very difficult, because after 170 years of extraction many of the unsystematically dumped slate tips were now beginning to slide dangerously into some of the major pit workings, and after an enormous fall in the Garret area of the quarry in 1966 (which can still be seen in Photo 6), production ceased.
Dinorwic quarry covered 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries. Many of these inclines still exist (some in better condition than others!) and many buildings are still accessible. There are old rails and bits of quarry equipment everywhere. It’s a fascinating site, but quite dangerous too of course so care must be taken at all times if you’re exploring there. It’s a very popular site for climbers.
Since closure, the National Slate Museum has opened in some of the 19th century workshops that have been impressively preserved. It’s well worth a visit!

More than 50 Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to the 180th Engineer Company, 276th Engineer Battalion, 329th Regional Support Group, participate in the Basic Search and Extraction Course, taught by West Virginia National Guard Soldiers, Aug. 1, 2017, at Camp Dawson, West Virginia. The seven-day course, designed for search and extraction elements of the specialized Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High Yield Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package, or CERFP, covers breaching and breaking, lifting and hauling, ropes, confined space entry and shoring.

After the ‘90s, there were about 45,000 coal miners working in the Jiu Valley. That is no longer the case today. As it is no longer profitable to extract coal, the European Commission recently proposed to closed most of them down and lay off the miners.
The remaining “lucky” 8,700 miners who made it through this restructuring exercise, continue to go 2,000 meters underground every day, working with rudimentary equipment and puting their lifes in danger.
The ones that were not so “lucky” continue to be un-employed, with limited chances of finding employment elsewhere...
The rusty entry of the old business, is wearing with stained letters a caste wishes “Good Luck”. 862 people read it at Petrila mine coal every day.
In the cage - so tell the elevator - a group is already formed. An iron box with two metal walls and floor crooked, leads people into the deep. They began to come to mine at 4.30 a.m, before dawn. The first turn is at 6.00 a.m. They gathered first at the table. Languages are freed quickly, without censorship. Who to beware? Then go to change. No one enters underground without special dark blue equipment. And without making timesheet. A brand of aluminum, which is scratched a number - their new identity while their are undergroung-, an entry in the register the lamp and auto save mask. Now, everyone knows who is and who works in the mining sector. In case something happens ...

Limestone extraction at the Marblehead Quarry started in the late 1800s. The rocks are fossiliferous limestones of the Devonian-aged Columbus Limestone. Most of the crushed rock produced at this quarry goes into various construction projects.
Seen here is part of the quarry's dock loadout facility. Aggregate (= crushed stone) is conveyed to a long dock at the southern shore of Lake Erie, where material is loaded onto boats.
Locality: Lafarge Marblehead Quarry's dock loadout facility, eastern Marblehead Peninsula, eastern Ottawa County, far-northern Ohio, USA (41° 32’ 39.42” North latitude, 82° 43’ 45.32” West longitude)

The big guy sucking the insides out of his peas, and of course, leaving empty pea shells everywhere!
Egads! I really need to clean his bottom shelf. He likes to sit on that shelf and do all of his eating :))
On another note, we're supposed to be getting another winter storm tomorrow!
They are calling for snow, sleet, AND freezing rain! The Explorer won't go out in ice :))
