Whenever I hear the word emergency I have to smile. I had a Swiss friend who kept pronouncing it something like emmer-tchen-see. The rest of his English was actually quite good but he kept insisting on pronouncing it this way, he even had a custom made t-shirt with the German spelling of his pronunciation on it: “Emmertschänsie”.

Bluelight response in the centre of Munich. We did not go closer as I hate intrusive onlookers when there was an accident. We were well beyond gawking distance and I never saw the injured person (apparently a cyclist had been hit by a car) but the helicopter landing in the middle of the road amongst the houses was remarkable.

I witnessed this air rescue helicopter in action in Munich earlier this year. There had been accident involving a cyclist and a car. I did not take photos of the emergency doctor and paramedics treating the badly injured cyclist, actually we left the scene as soon as the helicopter had landed. But … there were real people working inside.
