Highway Patrol 7 in Blast Area Copter

[Music] whenever the laws of any state are broken a duly authorized organization swings into action it may be called the state police state troopers militia the Rangers or the highway patrol these are the stories of the men whose training skill and courage have enforced and preserved our state [Music] [Applause] laws it takes a lot of dynamite to blast a hillside off the face of the Earth but in order to begin construction on the State's new flood Basin project the hill had to go Highway division Engineers were assigned to handle the explosives and the highway patrol was called out to set up rigid precautionary measures although the community had been alerted by radio newspaper and television announcements it was the Patrol's job to make sure nobody was injured in the giant blast but in this case the human element was found to be more more deadly than the dynamite this a trigger switch red that's right Dan this is the main control area outside the danger zone this switch will trigger all the others around the base of the Hill the others won't go off without this one will we no no they're all wired to this one we don't want any part of that hill to blow up until we're good and ready is it still set for 3:00 your men can clear the area by that time now let me see it's 9:15 yeah we can do it going to be a big blast Dan the danger zone will come close to this point radius of about 3 miles well we can close off the highways without any trouble but you never know what you're going to find on the side roads let's go take a [Music] look the Crest View Turnpike runs right through the danger area so let's head up a road block re traffic through Highway 104 104 far enough away for safety it's 12 M away from the blast area Roy take us over to [Music] 104 [Music] [Music]

set all set good let's review it Dan now this is the main control area the main blast area is on the other side of that Hill we've been all over that now here's the schedule the detonation has been planned for 3:00 1500 hours and by, 1400 all roads within the 3 m radius should be cleared 3 mile radius that's right when Mr Lessa throws this switch a lot of real estate's going to be airborne in a hurry and it's got to come down now it's your job to make sure that no motorist pedestrian or hiker is in the danger zone you understand all units have been assigned a definite detour area I'll be in the chopper over the blast area until deadline now we'll use the chopper for reconnaissance and also it's a control station what time do we check out with you at exactly 1455 I'll contact all units by radio for an all clear then I'll fly out of the area anything you'd like to add just be careful all of you this is a $2 million project but it's not worth one human life by 105 a.m. The Detour areas were mapped out and all units were dispatched to put them in force roadblocks were set up to re-root traffic from the danger zone warning signs were posted at strategic points around the perimeter of the blast area to alert any stragglers of the danger fuse lines were checked and rechecked by 1:00 p.m. all roads into the area had been sealed off and the highway patrol helicopter had gone aoft to check for [Music] stragglers but at least two stragglers had not yet reached the rim of the danger [Music] zone hey hey what's the matter out of gas what take a look you knew that didn't you you knew you'd run out of gas well sure I knew it you should have known it too I didn't stop at that gas station back there to get a manicure got to put a bullet through you right now okay be my guest you know

deadline for the big blast all precautionary measures had been put into effect each unit of the highway patrol was in its assigned position to stop any stragglers who might have entered the Danger
