The above is a picture of congress critter rep David Trone making his way to "safey". These people really do live in a bubble.
What the... are you kidding me?! LOL — these people are such jokes.
And to think this sissy beat a friend of mine who was his opponent.
Escape respirators always look goofy but that one wins the goofiness prize. On second thought, it appears to be a powered, supplied air scba with some sort of kick ass filtration system.
Us peons in petrochemical units usually had 3 devices. The primary one that was always with you (unless in a closed building) in a belt pouch was a mouth bit type with a nose clip with a single standard cartridge type matched to the primary hazards. With training, you could have it out of the bag and crammed on in seconds while running the other direction. Secondary was a full face gas mask with 2 cartridges and the third a 5 minute supplied air type with a tiny air tank that was a bag over the head.
The problem with bag over the head type is that there is a fixed rate of air supply rate and it's not enough to support physical exertion much more than a moderately fast walking pace. I was one of the guinea pigs testing different types and passed out from oxygen deprecation when under stress and a fast walk.
That crazy escape respirator the reporter is wearing looks like it has enough power to light up a small town.
