- The Chicago Police Marine Unit rescued a 36-year-old city water department worker who may have suffered a heart attack this morning while four miles out on Lake Michigan.
The marine unit received a distress call shortly after 11 a.m. that a worker on the Versluis, a tugboat, was having trouble breathing and chest pains, according to a spokesman for the marine unit.
The rescue unit sped to the boat's location, which was about 3 to 4 miles out in Lake Michigan. It took the rescue responders about five minutes to get to the vessel, he said.
How come there isn't a TV series about these officers? "Chicago Water" or something.

The Fire Department boat. This is the level of fact checking that everyone who watches and reads the main-stream media has come to expect. If they can't be bothered to even make sure a picture matches a story, how can anyone trust the words written?
You can't.
