Some of my favorite photos of 2012 that I was lucky enough to witness.
by markadmin Posted: Monday, 1/21/2013Boston firefighters stand at attention to honor Lt. Kevin Kelley, killed on duty four years ago today.
by markadmin Posted: Wednesday, 1/9/2013On January 9, 2009, a Boston fire crew’s ladder truck suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure returning from a call on Mission Hill. Boston fire Lieutenant Kevin Kelley died after the truck slammed into a building on Huntington Ave. It is hard to believe that four years have passed. Here is a photo of the very solemn moments after Lt. Kelley’s colleagues recovered him from the rubble. Needless to say it was a very difficult photo to snap at the time. There was not a dry eye in the area at that moment.
Problems continued today for Japan Airlines’ Dreamliner 787 at Boston’s Logan Airport.
by markadmin Posted: Tuesday, 1/8/2013I photographed a Japan Airlines Dreamliner 787 that was experiencing a fuel leak today, one day after a different JAL Dreamliner 787 had a small fire in its cargo belly. Here are my photos as Massport firefighters, officials and a crew from CleanHarbors, work to contain and then clean up the fuel. Stay tuned for any further details on this incident at bostonherald.com.
Japan Airlines 787 Dreamliner seen during today’s fire, and in better times.
by markadmin Posted: Monday, 1/7/2013I photographed smoke coming out of the cargo hold today as Massport firefighters, with a backup from the Boston Fire department, first investigated and then doused the morning fire. See my photos below of today’s event and also my photos from when the jet experienced happier times at Logan, first in Boeing colors, and then the inaugural flight from Japan. Also check bostonherald.com for any updates on the cause, etc.
Second Boston-area animal rescue in 25 hours, both with unsuccessful endings.
by markadmin Posted: Friday, 1/4/2013Waltham firefighters along with Animal Rescue League personnel rescued a deer from the ice on that city’s Cambridge Reservoir. The deer had to be put down later in the day. That follows an unsuccessful attempt yesterday by North Shore firefighters, led by the Swampscott Fire Department, to rescue a dog at a house fire in that town. Both were dangerous and valiant efforts, that I witnessed. See my photos below.
