High-rise fire - Chicago fire department [Ride along] Video

This is a video that you won't see often: ride along with Chicago's Aerial Tower 1 to a confirmed high rise fire (still and box high rise) in north downtown. At 1:52 you can see the screen with all the units responding to the box: 6 engines, 3 trucks, 3 battalions and 4 special units (as a side note: the initial dispatch was already 4 engines, 3 trucks, 3 battalions, squad 1 and 271). Engine 1, Aerial tower 1 and ambulance 41 respond out of the fire house in the South Loop and make their long way to the north. While en route you can hear the dispatch assigning the different functions to the responding units. Because of many calls coming in, at 6:30 an EMS Plan 1 has been announced, this means a response of additional units: 1 Engine, 1 Truck, 5 ALS Ambulances, 2 BLS Ambulances, 1 Battalion Chief, 1 EMS Field Officer, 1 EMS Assistant Deputy Chief Paramedic. After reaching the scene you will have an overview of what was going on in the street. Since the fire was in one of the upper floors (5 floors from top) I could not see anything from the ground. Note all the tourists looking at the trucks, this must have been a great attraction. Aerial Tower is the only unit of that kind in the city. All the other aerial units are regular trucks or platforms //

Dies ist eine seltene Aufnahme: Mitfahrt mit Drehleiter 1 der Feuerwehr Chicago zu einem bestätigten Hochhausbrand in der nördlichen Innenstadt. Bei 1:52 sieht man die Fahrzeuge, die nach Feuerbestätigung zusätzlich zu dem Einsatz disponiert wurden: 6 Löschfahrzeuge, 3 Drehleitern, 3 Einsatzleiter, 4 Sonderfahrzeuge (Anmerkung, initial wurden bereits 4 LF, 3 DL, 3 ELW und 2 Sonderfahrzeuge alarmiert). Löschfahrzeug 1, Drehleiter 1 und Rettungswagen 41 verlassen die Feuerwache im South Loop und machen sich auf den langen Weg Richtung Norden. Unterwegs hört man den Funkverkehr wie die Leitstelle den Einheiten ihre Sonderaufgaben zuweist. Da sich viele Anrufer meldeten wurde bei 6:30 ebenfalls MANV Stufe 1 ausgelöst. Das bedeutet eine Alarmierung zusätzlicher Einheiten: 1 Löschfahrzeug, 1 Drehleiter, 5 ALS Rettungswagen, 2 BLS Rettungswagen, 1 Einsatzleiter, 1 organisatorischer Leiter Rettungsdienst und 1 stellvertretender Rettungsdienstchef. Nach Ankunft an der Einsatzstelle bekommt man einen guten Überblick wieviele Einsatzmittel vor Ort sind. Man beachte die vielen staunenden Touristen, das muss eine echte Attraktion gewesen sein //

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
