:41:06
Unfortunately there are accidents
that require more than gauze and tape.
:41:10
That's when it's time for the Weatherman.
:41:12
From a repeater station
atop Mount Diablo.
:41:14
Bob Steinberger is the eyes
and ears of the race.
:41:16
Score Ops, copy Weatherman.
I have an emergency.
:41:21
Advise the hospital
that we need immediate...
:41:23
For over three decades.
Steinberger's been head of communications
:41:26
for the 1000, a job he does for free.
:41:29
In the early '70s
he was doing relays,
:41:31
and he was putting up
an antenna with weather balloons
:41:33
and someone called him
the Weatherman, and it stuck.
:41:35
You know, my dad's 65 years old.
He climbs to the top of this 50-foot tower
:41:39
on top of an 11,000-foot peak
and puts this antenna up,
:41:42
and right over it's like
a 5,000-foot drop down a sheer mountain.
:41:46
It's crazy. I mean, he's a great guy
and he loves this sport.
:41:49
We have an injured driver
at race mile 55.
:41:53
Weatherman, Score helicopter.
:41:55
Okay. We have
two injuries. Two back injuries.
:41:57
We are transporting
the first one right now to Ensenada.
:42:00
Weatherman. Could you contact
operations. Advise the hospital?
:42:05
We have a spectator hit
by motorcycle. No pulse.
:42:07
So we need immediate transfer.
:42:09
I heard somebody saying they
had a spectator with no pulse.
:42:13
I have no comeback on that yet.
:42:16
Weatherman, that's affirmative.
:42:18
26.9, spectator hit
by motorcycle. No pulse.
:42:23
Okay, this is an emergency.
Stand by, everybody.
:42:26
Spectator hit by a motorcycle
at 26.9, no pulse.
:42:34
Rescue One. Rescue One.
Do you copy?
:42:36
Helicopter 0-830.
:42:39
ETA approximately
1 7 minutes. 1-7 minutes.
:42:43
Score helicopter, copy Weatherman.
:42:46
We copy, Weatherman.
We'll be on our way there.
:42:49
T's gonna be...
:42:51
Boy. It's gonna be an ETA
of probably about 20 minutes or so.
:42:58
Weatherman.
