Did you realize that in addition to its Elite Counterterror Squad, METRO also has a Boat Rescue Squad?
We didn’t either, but METRO’s expensive blogger Mary Sit spelled it out for us in this post:
The documentary details how METRO responds to natural disasters, such as storms. A boat rescue squad practices regularly on how to rescue in debris-filled water, including buoy rescues and tethered rescues.
Initially, that seemed to us like another wasteful duplication of services already provided by other safety agencies.
And then we realized that METRO actually does need its own dedicated Boat Rescue Squad.
How else would the organization get passengers off the stranded Danger Train and onto buses when there is three inches of rain?
