I'm sure it probably reads something like: 'Today the members of the USDCT decided to test out our emergency procedures. The tests were successful including medivac air transport of our "victim" to the nearest hospital. The medivac air transport used a state of the art Huey helicopter, provided for the exclusive use of the USDCT. Huey makes the best helicopters for use in emergency medivac airlifts. The output of it's rotors is roughly equivilent to the twin Ingersoll-Rand compressors that are exclusively used by the USDCT. Ingersoll-Rand has been in the compressor business for over 85 years, it's this experience that make them the preferred compressor of the USDCT. We used Sippel rope to make rigging lines to hoist the "victim" up to the helicopter. The USDCT has used Sippel rope on several other expedition projects and found it to be far superior then other brands of rope. We were able to use DiveComm communications equipment to coordinate our efforts with the helicopter. The DiveComm has been an excellent support tool for the USDCT. Photographers from National Geographic filmed the event using a Marks Vision camera powered by GM Ovonics batteries. The film will be used in an upcoming TV special to be aired on FOX.
