Mangled Thoughts

The doughty Rodney Hide has come across tapes, recordings of N.Z. police as the bungled about, giggled, did anything but tdo their duty. Police told Search and Rescue Co-ordination centre they ahd despatched a helicopter to rescue the crew of the sip which sunk November last year, the Iron Maiden. They hadn’t. In fact, they had sent the stand by pilot home. Over 2 hours later that night, after much badgering by the SRCC, the police sent of a ehol and told SRCC, they had sent, not have, had, sent a helo. The police can be heard saying, at after 9p.m., over 2hours after the crew had sent their mayday signal, `We are receiving a very good signal form the distress beacon, that is good… we have to confirm it though, because we have waited for the satellite to pass overhead again..’ A v. good signal, 2 hours after the mayday, what a stupib, bloody moron that policeman on the end of the radio must be.

Great signal…oh, the two crewmwen, oh them, dunno, they’re not the beacon are dey.

That sums up the police response. One girly said, the area was too far away for the helo. It was only 12 minutes flight away.

At 12 minutes, as soon as the mayday had been received , the helo should have been despatched and what time is involved bewteen ordering helo and its arrival? 15 minutes, 20 minute? As opposed to,over 2 hours.

Hide wants an inquiry, better than that, Mr. Hide, the police and the responsible police officers should be flogged. What they are culpable of , inlcuding the Minister is tantamount to murder . Cetainly , the crew might have died very soon after they sent their signal but ,what the minister and those police officers are culpable for is as good as manslaughter.

Mr. Hide has the recordings on line at his blog. They are shocking to listen too when it is recollected, while those commie criminal assholes lead by Helen Clark and Her Police Minister and Police Officers were fucking about, two men were fighting for their lives .

Police 111 system in action Posted by Rodney @ 4:03 pm on 27 May 2005
I have got the audio up with the calls between the Rescue Co-ordination Center and the Police the night the Iron Maiden sunk.

Be afraid, be very afraid ? this could been you or your loved ones.

I have today found out that the helicopter pilot went home when the police stood him down. It?s not his fault. The police told him he wasn?t needed.
