A quick looksee, nope don't see a thing! And two people are dead. A family had to hire a private helicopter to find the car which was in plain view.
It's not just Oregon. It seems that those responsible for searching are totally unqualified.
Bureaucracies are populated with cronies, incompetent, and diversity hires that have NOTHING to do with competence.
ust two weeks later a car goes off the road on a major highway. Someone actually calls in the accident, nearly, but not quite, pinpointing the location of the auto.
Exactly. From the story:
Rubrecht, a 32-year-old former police dispatcher, was named Josephine County's search coordinator in 2001 with no prior experience in the field.
That sounds like the Wayne County, Michigan (Detroit area) "emergency response" system. Tens of millions of dollars of federal post-911 gear is sitting in trailers hidden behind county buildings at Metro Airport. Not one radio, gas mask, or IR sensor has made it into the hands of first responders after five years.
However, it was learned that all of the $15K generator sets were installed at the homes of (RAT) county commisioners. But that was treated as "business as usual" because the commisioners said they deserverd the generator sets because they were so important that they should not have to worry about power being interrupted to their homes.
