But yeah,

I changed that. Also, I'd like you to come on scene and look for us because we're not seeing anything.

If you could check between the bridge at near 47 and then the aqueduct has the grades that goes underground.

Okay, copy, we'll continue to your incident, and they'll have to have a copter 21, go pick up the dive team in Santa Monica and bring them out.
