Sixty-two thirty-two.
00:02
If I can get, I'm going to need a unit to shut down the ramp for MLK because we're getting backed up here.
00:11
The fifty-one won't even be able to make it to us.
00:15
And then copy instructions for the fifty-one.
00:22
One seventy-eight was challenged.
00:26
Sixty-one seventy-eight so far.
00:32
Split, and he should be able to get to us from there.
00:35
But if he takes 15 north to MLK, he won't be able to get to us.
00:40
We're just too congested.
00:47
Unit 278,
00:49
I'll be 76 to 232 coming from I-11 or Anvil.
00:55
From my understanding, the MLK ramp from 15 northbound is shut down?
01:02
Affirmative.
01:06
Copy him, I'm seeing him coming up the mile in route.
01:16
Uh, forty-seven, 116, Tacopa, 160, Tacopa.
01:19
He's responding.
01:21
Rebroadcast for the ten forty-seven.
01:26
You are forty-seven.

77 on the 51.
02:36
178-232 direct, coming up to the ramp now.
02:39
You want me to go ahead and shut that down now?
02:43
That's a firm.
02:45
I'm going to try and push this truck, but if that doesn't work,
02:49
at least by getting the ramp shut down, we could bleed traffic through here.
02:53
And then if he doesn't make it down the ramp this way, then we could get him through the ramp the other way.
03:05
I'm coming up to the ramp right now.
03:07
Looks like a tow truck and possibly an NDOT truck have already got the ramp closed down.
03:12
Do you need the 51 to back up to you on the other side?
03:23
He'll have to go 11 North and exit MLK.
03:32
Because if he comes this way, he still has to get turned around to pull this truck.
03:47
Myself and a FSP truck got the ramp closed down.
03:52
If we can just communicate with the tow trucks or dispatch to make that happen.
04:00
No, dispatch is clear and it's Ewing that it's assigned.
04:03
It shows an ETA of 5 ft.
04:15
We've got the ramp closed, but I can see about 15 cars backed up and stopped on that ramp.
04:25
Ten four. I am going to push this truck hopefully we can bleed them through.
