Anyone seen this picture of Obama's new limo?


There's some good food for thought around extrication techniques.

Consider:
- armour plating
- weapons
- weight of vehicle
- numbers of casualties

The car travels with the president along with a spare where ever he travels, so its unlikely any civil dept has any kind of info on it. The president however travels with support teams for every conceivable need and my guess that if rescue was a possible need then they have people trained and equipped for it. Looking at the car though, and having seen presidential motorcades before, I can't think of too many scenarios that would require extrication. Having the road to yourself kinda eliminates most opportunities for mva's, travel routes are swept for explosives and utility and sewer covers are welded shut, and the thing is a tank. Maybe if his driver locks the keys in the car?
if that car would wreak the fire or rescue crews probly wouldnt get to touch it
Exactly, if we have thought of this, the President's Security detail has allowed for that contingency.

A normal MVC with this vehicle more than likely would not result in an entrapment. It is extremely heavy and robust.
