Fire Fighters Using A Magic Carpet
from the how-about-for-the-rest-of-us dept
Found over at GeekPress is a great story about a new hovering platform being created for firefighters. It can do a vertical launch, and can go much higher than your standard firefighter's ladder. The platform can hold ten people. I agree with the folks at GeekPress who think it's cool, but would really like to have one just for personal use. It would be great to hover over the traffic jams on 101 and laugh at the silly people in their primitive "cars".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
