*Click Here to Go to Doug Copp's Eye Opening, Hard Hitting Blog, for Information On The Oct 23, 2011 Earthquake, in Turkey* As CNN Reports; according to the Ministry of Civil Defense of Turkey, an unprecedented LARGE number of victims have survived the collapsed buildings and an unprecedented LOW percentage of deaths have occurred. The Triangle of Life was taught to these victims and is responsible for their survival. Thank God almighty that USA Insurers and the bureaucrats who are insured by them have been unable to stop us from saving these lives. Instead of the usual 2 percent survival rate from duck and cover. The survival rates has been increased to 80 percent ( statistics at 2nd day of earthquake ). an unprecedented LARGE number of victims have survived the collapsed buildings and an unprecedented LOW percentage of deaths have occurred. *CLICK HERE to watch the 'Real TV' program of doug saving a little girl buried alive under tons of concrete (Go under the videos button to watch an ABC Prime Time Special of Doug saving her.)* *Click Here: Read the American Survival Guide Magazine Article and pictures page 1* *Click Here: Read the American Survival Guide Magazine Article minute by minute story and pictures..page2* ** July 2010 **. *CLICK HERE to watch... *Wow!

to all UN Officials in Latin America

Quote from Time Magazine:

"Meanwhile, U.N. security experts this week sent out a triangle-of-life PowerPoint presentation to staff members in Latin America who are still shaken by the deaths of 100-plus U.N. workers in the organization's Port-au-Prince headquarters, including the head of the mission there."

March 5, 2010. Title: "Are you prepared?

Next time when the ground beneath your feet trembles, try the Triangle of Life" Read the article in India's Premier Business and Management Magazine: 'Business and Economy'.

Excerpt/Quote:

"Techniques like drop, cover and hold-on are passé. Duck and cover results in a 98% death rate when buildings collapse. The only people who survive are those who do the triangle of life. This is either intentionally or as a result of panicking, fleeing, being knocked to the floor and somehow finding themselves in a survivable void. If the masses followed the triangle of life, there would be a major shift from death to survivability, in earthquakes, says Doug Copp, Professor of Disaster Mitigation at the International Institute of Disaster Reduction Institute."

This device will give you a warning in advance of an earthquake. Time and time again, it has more effective, at saving lives, than a machine costing $100,000 at any Research University. You can get it for less than $50.

Enough advanced warning to save your life! "It is 'the real deal". doug copp March 2010. Quake Alarm is the only product endorsed by ARTI. It does for earthquakes what smoke detectors did for fires. It costs $20 -30. It will provide you with enough warning of an earthquake to save your life. ARTI has given them to Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Generals to protect their office and home. In one instance it saved the lives of an entire school of children, in Mexico. The children were all outside, in lines watching as their school completely collapsed, in front of them. After this event the Governor of this region used 3 Quake Alarms, one for office, one for the bedroom and another for hotel trips. It works. It saves lives. We recommend it highly. In fact we cannot recommend it enough. It is capable of saving the lives of your entire family has it has repeatedly done, throughout the world.

If there was an award given for the most practicily, useful safety device, in the world. Quake Alarm would win it with a unaminous vote.

During 2009, 50,000 schoolchildren died in collapsed schools because of 'duck and cover'

" NO MORE DEAD CHILDREN, IN SCHOOLS!" 'Quake Alarm': Watch the video. The Quake Alarm does for earthquakes what smoke detectors do for fires. It costs less than $20 wholesale; is simple to use; requires a 9 Volt battery, to work and it has ALREADY SAVED AN ENTIRE SCHOOL OF CHILDREN. The children watched from outside, in safety, as their school collapsed, into a complete heap of rubble. Instead of, the usual 2% survival rate; 100% of the children survived. ARTI has been giving Quake Alarms as presents, to world leaders, for years. The Quake Alarm protects the Maharao Pragmalji III, in his Palace, in Gujarat, India. It is in the Presidential Compound, in Peru. The General of the Armed Police of China has one. It protects the Ministry of Civil Defense Headquarters, in The People's Republic of China. The Governor of Jalisco, Mexico keeps one in his bedroom, one in his office and another in his suitcase to protect him when travelling.

A litany of USA and Canadian Embassies are protected by Quake Alarm. The Quake Alarm activates and warns you before earthquake damage takes place. This gives you the time to get yourself into a survivable void or 'triangle of life'. Quake Alarm plus the 'triangle of life' means survival.

*********Listen below to the radio program!******** Doug Copp gave a 4 hr /4 part (click below) nationwide radio interview in which he exposes crimes at 911, the Oklahoma City explosion and other disasters in which identified US Government Officials committed crimes and other nefarious acts. Why this expose and why now? Doug continues to have many 911 caused medical problems; however, only one 'worries' him. Doug is going blind from glaucoma; caused by, his exposure to massive amounts of toxins, under the 911 rubble. He wants to clear his chest and confront the villains before he is goes blind. People should go to jail. Doug 'opens the book' on 25 years of saving lives around the world; while battling greed, self-interest and clandestine military-intellegence activities under the pretense of offering foreign aid. Learn that... almost all if not all... Federal Government rescue teams have spies on the team. They gather military and intelligence information and extrapolate/ evaluate the effectiveness of the stricken country and it's handling of the natural disaster with how well it would function under military attack. They all do it. They do it to both friendly and enemy governments. Why do you think that FEMA from Fairfax County, Virginia; instead of New York City, Los Angeles or any of the other 23 FEMA teaams are the only FEMA team to go to foreign disasters..year after year. .What is so important about Fairfax County? What is in Fairfax County? Langely is in Fairfax County. Langely is famous for one thing only: ' It is the worldwide headquarters of the CIA.... GOT IT!... an idiot can figure this out. Learn the truth...How to survive even if everyone else is killed. Why has it taken doug 25 years of defammation, criminal acts against him, abuse, persecution, attack, lies and brutal treatment before the 'duck and cover' bureaucrats are finally giving in? $$$$ money or the worship of 'the almighty dollar' is the only reason why 'duck and cover' has been used. Members of ARTI met with the Re-Insurance Companies who insure the insurance companies, state, county and civic governments. The insurance companies told us that it would be less profitable for them if people survived with possible injuries rather than simply were allowed to die. It would be acuarily more expensive. In other words, dead school children cost less than survivors do. The VP of Muchener-Re (one of the world's wealthiest Organizations) told us that he would be fired and replaced if he changed the policy. His company was in business to make a profit..NOT to save lives or be humanitarian! The Government safety officers who usually get their job as a political reward for supporting a politician's political campaign (rather than any knowledge of safety..like Bushes : "Good Job Brownie" who screwed up Katrina) told us that it would be "cheaper and less trouble to deal with a dead child (in the public classroom) rather than surviving with a possible physical or psychological injury and could sue." In other words their insurance premium would rise and it would cost them more money. This is why the fight to get the truth about the 'triangle of life' has been fought, so hard and this is why Doug Copp has been so vindictively and vitrolically pursued, for his 25 years of humanitarian work, as an unpaid volunteer. Learn what really happens and did happen at the major disasters throughout the USA and the world. The truth. What actually happened. Not the 'glossed over' lies or story made up for the press or the public. Why were 5 reporters arrested at the Oklahoma City; including Geraldo Riviera? Learn what they were unable to uncover. You will be shocked and stunned by Doug's many revelations; including, the American Red Cross direct responsibility for 4,500 NYC first responders becoming injured at 911. The President of 3 M Corporation told doug, personally, that 3M Corp donated $750,000 respirators to the American Red Cross for distribution to first responders. The ARC kept these 'life saving respirators' in their wharehouses, for later sale. Meanwhile first responders (without respirators) had a choice: take a chance or let the victims die. The first responders; including, doug 'did the right thing' 'took a chance' and got poisoned The American Red Cross 'carpet bagged' more money; as they have countless times before and continue to do so, today. Doug states in the radio interview: "I was so mad that I could have been boiled alive"..and did you know about the Canadian Red Cross being legally phrohibited by the Canadian Courts, from collecting blood in Canada. The Director of the Canadian Red Cross was criminally charged with the death of 8,000 people who received aids via contaminated blood transfusions.This resulted from the Canadian Red Cross refusing to pay the $250,000 to test the blood for aids. It would interfere with profit. An Official with the Canadian Red Cross laughed, in Copp's face, when the court decision came down: " We can no longer collect blood but we are 'going into' collecting money from disasters..the same as the American Red Cross..we'll make a fortune... and we got only a $1 fine for the death of 8,000 people." Much, much more..including the shining lights of the world and the 'goodness' that comes out of people's hearts to fight against these villains.

Earthquake ***CHILE***

** written by Doug Copp on March 5, 2010.**

** written by Doug Copp on March 3, 2010.**

This report is different from any you will find elsewhere. We will give you the facts and you can make a judgement.

ARTI members in the USA, Argentina, China and Peru mobilised to help save lives in Chile.

Rescue teams, from around the world mobilised, too.

The Chilean government said 'NO!'

Everything is 'under control'. Our people don't need help. Our military will 'take care of everything'.

Here are the facts and comparisons:

***1)During the Earthquake in Gujarat, India:

The Government of India used water tanker trucks and supplied drinking water to a million thirsty people, within 2 days. The people lined up with their 'free' buckets and got drinking water..regularily.

In Chile:

The people got military 'water cannons' shooting at them..to dispel them from rioting for water. The military brought in water for the thousands of soldiers it brought into the area but NONE, for the people.

***2)The Government of Greece during the Kalamaattaa earthquake:

The EPPO ( Earthquake Planification Department) is the very best in the entire world at 'taking care' of their people during a disaster.

Within 1 day, the 300,000 people of Kalamattaa had water ( via water tankers), hot cooked food ( via special military cooking units), got mail delivered ( via special 'trailers' filled with hundreds of mail boxes), could do banking and cash their pension checks ( via special trailers with banking teller cages, inside), got shelter ( via the military supplying tents and the boy scouts erecting them), could have 'showers' (via special military shower tents), got toilet facilities ( via portible toilets brought in by EPPO) and could contact their relatives to send money and to comfort them ( via free mobile phone banks brought in by EPPO..allowing free phone calls to anywhere, in the world.)

In Chile:

The Government delivered no food, no shelter, no toilets, no showers, no mail, no phones..only bullets, water cannons etc. etc.. When the people broke into the stores to get food..they arrested them and shot some more..... Till they were forced to back down because of 'bad press'.

***3)During the earthquake, in IZMIT, Turkey:

The Turkish Government via ARTI/AKUT influence upon the government opened the doors, to save lives and allowed teams, from 52 countries, to 'work together', to save lives.

In Chile:

NO Volunteer team from any country has been allowed to save trapped victims. No NGO team, from any country, has been allowed to help save victims buried alive. No governmental or 'political' team from any country has been allowed to save lives.

You decide how things are in Chile and whether the Chilean Government has 'everything' under control'..like they tell CNN they do.

Finally:

The usual reason for the types of actions, demonstrated by Chile, are unacceptable reasons: self interest, greed, corruption and a general 'cover-up' or fear of 'the people' or the truth becoming known.

The Chilean Government tells us that there are 700 dead victims, in the 2 million collapsed buildings or is this a lie? What is the truth? Why should the Chilean Government act so harshly, to their own people? What is the real reason, for the worst disaster area, to be 'blacked-out'

A History Lesson. The CIA and the Chilean Military overthrew the democratic government of President Allende, in 1974. Many thousands of people fled, for their lives and many thousands were murdered, tortured and imprisoned.

'Democratic Government' was restored, a few years ago.

The 'military' coup by the convicted war criminal, General Pinochet, was replaced by a democratically elected government. The current government is considered to be a 'liberal' one. On March 11, 2010, the newly elected President, will take office. He is considered to be a 'conservative'

It makes me wonder?????: If this is the way that a 'liberal' government treats the people.....how bad will it be under a 'conservative', less humane government.

How much power does the Chilean Military really have? Who really is running the country of Chile?

As usual, Doug Copp takes full responsibility, for this narative and is waiting for the expected backlash against him. (Prior to being injured and disabled at 911, Doug Copp had taught Chilean Fire Depts Urban Heavy Rescue and the 'Triangle of Life' survival procedures.)

Dear Doug,

This email is a masterpiece. Superb, wise and accurate. Bravo!!

best!

Below is a Chilean update (March 4, 2010), from of a recent ARTI convert, George Quackenbush, a very intelligent, capable, independent 'survivor'.

He is an American living in Chile.

Doug,

The looting has stopped. Neighbors quickly banded together in neighborhood watches passing a pitch fork to each one as they stood guard. Police put the areas most effected under a 18 hour curfew so they could get some rest and military sent in to assure civil order.

Your web site www.amerrescue.com superbly advises how to prepare for and survive a major earth quake, small earthquake/survival kits that should be in the home, car and work and that in nearly all major disasters there can be expected a breakdown in civil order.

Most people, Americans included, have become to rely far to much on a government for all their needs. Most of the people fighting over bottled water did not need to do so. In that area there is an abundance of water, and plenty of wood to boil it, so safe drinking water was available. Except for the 1% of the poorest, all could afford to have at least a weeks worth of rice and beans for emergencies and the other 99% could share so looting stores for food was not necessary. If a hundred people would have helped the fishermen get their boats that were not damaged back in the water they could fish and share the catch. Where there are mines, there are explosives and that is an excellent way to fish for someone who knows how to handle explosives. Anybody with a pellet gun and a little corn can shoot the millions of pigeons that seem to be in every city. Same with sea gulls on the coast. They may not taste like chicken but they are filling. This is the middle of harvest season and they could walk a few miles to pick fruit and be paid by the owner in product. They also could have banded together, pooled their money, walked out and bought a cow and led it back to be slaughtered, butchered and shared. Excess meet could be smoked or jerked to extend it's life. You can also live for a long time without food except for the very young and old and sick. In nearly all of the world, people have become virtually dependent on their governments by depending on them for food, water, shelter and protection when all should be an individual responsibility. In times past, everyone had a root cellar, salted or smoked meat, canned preserves and a few barnyard animals and depended on very little for outside help. Today it should be easier than in times past with a little planning. Everything that is needed can be purchased at the nearest market and stored indefinitely. It seems like the modern society is about me and less about cooperation and very few people who prepare or take an initiative to think outside the box to be able to survive when disaster strikes.

I have a weeks worth of MREs, piles of prepared soup, beans, rice and other stuff to last a month, LED flashlights and re chargeable batteries, a UPS hooked up to a car battery for extended use, a 110V inverter in my pickup so I can recharge batteries flashlight batteries and cell phones, first aid kit for the house and each car and a swimming pool full of drinking water a months worth of chlorine to keep it safe for drinking. My family could live fairly well for a month without leaving the house if necessary. If one gets tired of a constant menu of rice and beans, change it to beans and rice. After all, it is only temporary.

People that were caught in or had family members killed by the tsunami are blaming others because they were not notified of a tsunami warning. If I had a house on the beach and that house was jumping off it's foundations because of an earthquake, I would be on high ground quicker than a cat. Any strong quake felt when you are on or near the beach you better run run for high ground. If there is no Tsunami, all you lost was your breath running up a hill. If a car is parked near the beach, drive it to high ground immediately. A fishing boat could be taken out to deep water before a Tsunami starts breaking into a wave and does no damage.

There will be a lot of lessons to be learned, but all is not lost if action is taken to correct the faults and educate the people to be prepared and plan for the worst but hope for the best

Chile will quickly recover because they will pull together as a team. I expect that they will have basic services up and running in record time. The airports are operating, although at a reduced capacity. Temporary bridges are in place and detours around damaged portions of the principal North-South highway and traffic restored although slow. Aid is flowing as the situation became clearer and transportation modes are back in service.

Several lessons not to be down played are the importance of a good ham radio network for comunication when all others fail and the value of the helicopter will become obvious very soon to transport the rescue teams, the injured and emergency supplies to remote areas.

I will be for ever greatful for passing on your knowledge and experiences and for your lifelong service to humanity.

Mi casa es tu casa.

** January 2010 **.

ARTI in Haiti

** as narrated by Doug Copp**

I didn't mind the continuous gunfire but the prolonged screams of one particular woman was too much. I came back inside to work on the computer and take advantage of this tiny window of opportunity, to communicate. On a further note, gasoline is running out, phones don't work, banks are shut down, traveller's checks are worthless, prices have gone 'to the moon' I haven't eaten today. A frustrated United Nations friend pointed out to me that the United Nations have police guarding their 'water' so thirsty children don't try to steal it. The hotel we came into to use this Internet is charging their customers $300 per night for a cracked and broken room with no water or electricity and $14 for a hotdog. (Haitians average $2 per day.)

My companions are at the breaking point. I am expecting that I must somehow get to Santo Domingo to get cash, arrange for medical supplies and come back.

I cannot imagine that Hell could be worse than this. Oh, I forgot to mention the continuous fire alarm bell ringing every 3 seconds while I have been writing this email. The staff tells me that it has been blaring for 5 days straight.

Earlier today something bad happened which 'rocked' all of us... I will be posting a picture of it.... Ben Aubin who I had brought in with me as my assistant...carrying a little boy, screaming in pain with his infected and half severed foot dangling. Ben lost it when we had to leave the little boy. Maybe this was the instance that sent the medical director over the edge. When he started pleading with me, to get him medicines. I hope God will forgive me but I thought ...what is the point of saving someone buried alive if they are left screaming on the dirt outside of a hospital that cannot give them any treatment, food or care of any kind.... so instead of rescuing people buried alive... we spent all day going from hospital after hospital with doctors pulling on my arm and begging me to help them get medicines, until we finally got medical treatment, by the Brazilian Military. Using their personal resources... as a special favour to me for helping to find Gabriel Buchmann...a Brazilian student who disappeared in Africa. I was overjoyed at saving the lives of the victims that we took to the Brazilians; nevertheless the day tore me up inside.

Excuse the mistakes. I am exhausted and typing in near dark conditions.

If anyone has ever wanted to do some good or is appreciative of the life I have lived now is the time to help.

-- Doug Copp

** January 2010 **.

ARTI in Haiti

** as narrated by Doug Copp**

The situation in Haiti is beyond description. It is a whirlwind of confusion and tension, anxiety, horror, nightmare, suffering, pain, and it almost feels like falling into the bottom of a bottomless pit of despair. This is one of the three worst disasters I've ever worked at in terms of nastiness.

Nevertheless, the forces of good and light continue to shine no matter how dark their surroundings may be. I am honoured and pleased with so many of the really good decent human beings I've had the pleasure to work with here.

At the Santo Domingo airport I met up with my Peruvian brothers in rescue. Since I am a captain with the national fire department of Peru, I was able to gain access to the tarmac where the Peruvian air force plane was waiting. Myself, Doug Copp, and a Haitian team coordinator, Ben Aubin, got on the plane with the Ambassador of Peru, and many of my friends with the ministry of health. Carlos Alberto Malpica Coronado, who I knew in Lima, as well as many of the other people in the plane, welcomed me with open arms.

After meeting some of my Russian rescue team comrades and some other rescue friends we finally had permission to leave and fly to Port au Prince.

We circled the airport for four hours. We were told by the control tower that we could not land because there was no place to dock. While we were circling the airport, we took photographs.

For more pictures click the following link [Haiti Pictures]

We returned to Santo Domingo with the most important thing that could ever have been brought to Haiti, antibiotics needed to stop the many thousands of simple injuries from causing death. Something that doctors at the United Nations had pleaded-- begged for us to get to them.

We had 5,000 kg of this on the plane when it was turned back. The ambassador from Peru arranged for a bus and a UN military escort to take the personnel, Ben, and myself to Haiti. Our 5,000 kg of antibiotics was reduced to 300 lbs.

After we rescued four people taking them from one hospital after another to help them get medical treatment to stop infection we realized just how important these antibiotics were. Never at any of the more than one hundred disasters I've ever been at have I ever been in a situation when you rescue someone who's buried alive, and you need to watch them die because there isn't any medicine.

I am not as upset now as I was. Finally we were able to get the Brazilian military to use their own personal medicine on the victims we brought to them. They did this in part because they knew me from the TV coverage of our mission to locate a missing Brazilian student in Africa. The five doctors were absolutely tremendously good people. They gave me a shot and medicine as well since the pollution had been exasperating my 9/11 injuries by causing me to violently vomit many times a day. I thanked them for saving the lives of the victims we took to them and giving me the medical treatment I needed to continue working. The two head doctors are actually planning to come to my home next summer to visit.

We're still fighting to get the medicine in here

Searching for Gabriel Buchmann

** read daily mission updates, from the Mountainous African Jungle, below and/or watch the TV video of the mission broadcast to 46 countries and seen by an audience of 30 million viewers. **.

Gabriel Buchmann an economist/humanitarian was a prestigous Fulbright Scholar. Gabriel was studing the effects of poverty, around the world, by personally experiencing the poverty first hand. He has disappeared on Mt Mulanje, Malawi, Central Africa.

He is shown below with some poverty stricken children and with his girlfriend Christina. Christina is going to Malawi.

** see below: Gabriel Buchmann was recovered, today, August 5, 2009. see Below for details. **.

There are 2 photos of Facundo Garcia, ARTI Director for Latin America and GOER (Argentina) rallying members of the Malawi SAR Team to go up the mountain.

Permission given by Globo TV for us to rebroadcast their TV program

with English subtitles or English language.

** August 18, 2009. see below for details: Team member X (name withheld because he thinks it will be more difficult for him to get another job.), The Ground Search XX who recovered Gabriel, was fired from XXX Corporation because he helped Gabriel. **

A Malawi/ARTI/GOER task force has been formed and is enroute.

ARTI member Doug Copp received the call and activated an appoprite rescue mission from ARTI/GOER members and helpers from USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Malawi and Canada.

This is an excerpt from Gabriel's best friend Pedro Hemsley:

"A quick comment on the guy. Gabriel is an economist who studies poverty. He travelled many times to get to know people who live under adverse conditions - unlike most economists, who stick to the figures. He worked with public policy for poverty (you may guess how ineffective it is in most of the world) and will start his PhD in September at the University of California to go on researching and working on poverty. He decided to take a one-year trip in Asia and Africa to live with people, to see actual people in real-world situations, before going back into the books. He wasn't a typical tourist at all. He didn't sleep in hotels, but found accomodation with locals.

He hunted and fished with them.

He took part in their rituals.

This is who we are looking for."



This picture shows 3 members of our rescue team getting ready to go up and search for Gabriel in an area not readily accesible by climbing. It arrived to assist on August 2 (see the daily update..below). Christina is seen at the left of the helicopter praying. This jungle and mountain are formidible.

Comment by Doug Copp: I am truly distressed that my 911 illness continues to plague me and prevent me from personally flying to Malawi. Like many 911 victims I continue to vomit cupfulls of mucus/slime from my lungs, every day, and feel 'run over' by a Bush Administration that wrecked such havoc, in the world.

If I was provided with the promised medical treatment that my Doctors precribed (and most people mistakenly think 911 First Responders received)* then I would be in Malawi, today.

The foul effects of those 'XXXXXX' continues to this day. I am lucky and still alive. 911 First Reponders die every day.

Jealous, cowardly and greedy FEMA members continue to harm people and attempt to derail our rescues on a daily basis.

see Michael Moore's documentary 'Sicko' to see how 911 first responders have been left to die, from their 911 injuries.

Doug Copp, permanently disabled, from his 911 injuries, has returned to a life of rescue and reducing the suffering of disaster victims. This video is a report to the leader of Doug's 7 doctors who are treating him for his continuing 911 related illness.

In spite of Doug's 11, '911 caused', autoimmune system attacks; while in Italy, Copp appeals to his Doctors to help him stay alive to work at more disasters. Copp says :"My mission to Italy was a magnificent success.It was worth dieing for. I felt alive, useful and my life had purpose again. It proves that a disabled person can help if they have the strength and will, to do so.".

" I would prefer a short life of doing God's work helping people when they have been 'brought to their knees', by a major disaster; than a longer life, like the 8 years of pain, suffering and misery; since, being injured at 911." Copp appeals to his Doctors to create a medical kit and a treatment program that can help him survive another 4 or 5 missions before his exacerbated 911 injuries cause his death.

" I don't want a 'normal life' of living only for myself and I don't want to continue with a life of constant pain and misery like the last 8 years have been. Now, that my brain has recovered, to the point, that I can help, at disaster missions again, I could care less about my other physical illnesses."

"God took my pain away, boosted my brain, let me experience 3 more of his miracles. His LOVE took me to the same place of 'internal comfort' that the Christians experienced, in the Colosseum. This same 'spiritual awakening' enabled them to face the horror of being ripped apart and devoured by lions without fear or regret."

' There is no finer experience in life than doing God's work. Living to this level of fulfillment, even for a few minutes, is worth a hundred lifetimes of selfishness."

Watch the video described below.

The BBC TV production featuring Doug Copp, Rescue Chief of ARTI (American Rescue Team International), Canadian (Canadian International Rescue Organization), GOER (Argentina), AKUT (Turkey) and Captain National Fire Dept of Peru. Doug is seen saving lives around the world, going under the rubble of 911 while the fire is still smoldering , searching where FEMA were too afraid to go, getting poisoned under the millions of tons of rubble and finally getting medical treatment and struggling to stay alive through years of severe 911 illness. Doug is seen at the end stating: " I did the right thing. I would do it all over again...without a second's hesitation.. If God wants me to die...doing the right thing...then I'll die..period."

***OCT 2008. Very Important Announcement***

Click on YOUTube to watch the short trailer of the safety video described as:

"This is truly the first new emergency preparedness information in over 50 years.

The most experienced rescue organization in the world, American Rescue Team International of San Francisco, California and its founder, Doug Copp, explain in detail new emergency preparedness procedures that can save lives during disasters. Youll see actual footage of earthquake rescues, building collapse demonstration and in general, a new and effective way of preparing for earthquakes and natural or man-made disasters. ".

Digital 2000, of Houston, Texas, the world's most prestigious producer of corporate safety videos has combined with the most experienced survival expert, in the world, to produce the most important safety video ever made.

Doug Copp has personally survived searching inside of 896 (feb 2010) collapsed buildings and has the experience of personally surviving while inside of a multi-story building which completely collapsed into a pile of rubble on top of him; thereby , burying him alive until he rescued himself.

This was filmed by ABC.Network.

Their expertise have collaborated to produce the only video ever made which uses actual video inside of collapsed buildings, real life experience and demonstrated scientific methods to unilaterally increase building collapse survival by 90%. You will actually see Copp rescue victims who are buried alive and who survived using the methods you will learn in this video. Who better to teach you how to survive building collapse than the person who has saved more victims buried alive and removed more bodies of the dead than anyone else, in the world? Doug knows the mistakes that killed the 650,000 victims who have died at the disasters he has worked at and knows that the survivors lived because they were located in a survivable void or a 'triangle of life'.

This video is OSHA compliant and is available exclusively via Digital 2000. The video includes a copy of Doug Copp's speech: ' How to Survive Building Collapse' published by the Chinese Government with all the information to survive building collapse at the office, home or school at no extra charge.

30 Questions and answers that go with the video:

1) Q : Why is 'it" called the triangle of life? A: If you look closely at collapsed buildings either in pictures or on TV you will rapidly discover that you see 'triangular spaces' formed throughout collapsed structures. It is as natural and normal as gravity or the 'shape of snowflakes'. They are formed everywhere around objects when buildings collapse.

2) Q: Why has it taken Doug Copp 23 years to eliminate Duck and Cover? A: If Galileo could come back from the dead he would ask why some people still believe that the earth is the center of the universe, the world is flat, people should be 'bled' to allow demons to escape from the body and man never landed on the moon.

As Schopenhauer, the German Philosopher, said: 'The path of all truth is first to be ridiculed, secondly to be violently opposed and thirdly to be accepted as 'self-evident'.

3) Q: What are the 15 safest places to be in an earthquake? (The places most people survive.) A: 1) Outside in the middle of a field where nothing can fall on top of you. 2) Outside in the middle of the street where falling glass can't reach you. 3) On a seismic resistant platform such as a boat. 4) On the top floor of a wooden building. 5) On the top floor of a concrete building 6) in the space between 2 large objects (between twin beds, between 2 cars, between 2 rows of desks). 7) Next to an office bank vault or stack of paper. 8) Next to a squashed vehicle 9) At the foot of a bed 10) In front of a hotel lobby counter or bar counter. 11) In front of a sofa. 12) Next to Kitchen Cabinets 13) Next to a big bulky object like a piece of machinery, fridge, stove. 14) Next to a large carrying beam 15) In the subterranean exterior perimeter of a building.

4) Q: Where are the 15 deadliest places to be in an earthquake? (The places where most dead victims are recovered from or simply the most lethal.) A: 1) Under an object that gets squashed (like a desk, car, bed) 2) Inside of an object that gets squashed (like a car) 3) On top of an object that gets squashed (like a bed or sofa) 4) Inside of an elevator 5) On stairs. 6) More than 10 ft away from the outside of a building and on the ground floor 7) In a brick building less than 10 ft from the outside wall. 8) In a doorway of a collapsed building. 10) On the ground floor of any building. 11) Under a carrying beam. 12) Under an object with a high center of gravity that fell over in the earthquake (like a fridge. 13) The middle decks of highway overpasses. 14) Places that catch fire after collapsing. 15) Places with toxins, chemicals and gases that collapse.

5) Q: What is frequency of moment? A: This convoluted term is meant to explain the resultant third force from 2 objects which are swinging out of synch with each other. If the swinging lasts long enough and the force of the earthquake is strong enough then the smaller object will break into pieces at the joints and collapse( such as, stairs moving out of synch with the rest of the building.)

6) Q: What do I do in a multi-story building? A: Be calm; lay down, in a fetal position next to a bed or sofa. When the earthquake has stopped and the building has not collapsed DO NOT MOVE! DO NOT GO TO THE STAIRS! Wait until all the panicked people have fled down the stairs. If the stairs haven't collapsed under all the combined weight of panicked, fleeing people then you know that they will be safe for you to go on. If you can, then wait for an expert to inspect the stairs before putting weight on them.

7) Q: What do I do in a basement? A: Basements are relatively safe if you are near the outside perimeter of the subterranean area. The center of the basement area is very unsafe. Typically the walls fall outward and downward until the forces reach the subterranean area. At this point the lateral force is stopped by bedrock and is reflected inward. For example: The outside perimeter under the World trade Center had huge voids where thousands of people would have been safe; whereas, the center core area was so pulverized that it crushed the subway car to an inch thick. You can see this video at www.amerrescue.org

8) Q: What do I do on a highway? A: Pull your car to the side of the road. Do NOT stop under an overpass or something that can fall on your car.

9) Q: What about the glass windows in a multi-story building? A: Typically, glass is NOT a problem for the people inside the building. (It is like bursting a blown-up paper bag.) The glass blows outward as the air pressure inside of the building increases at the same time as the volume of the space decreases. If you are outside of the building then you should run away from the building into the middle of the street.

10) Q: Where is the deadliest place to be? A: Most dead people are found squashed under a desk.

11) Q: How dangerous is it to search a collapsed building? A: According to OSHA: 60% of 'rescuers' are killed going into their first confined space rescue.

12) Q: What are the 10 most important things that I really need in a safety kit? Which are NOT usually found in a emergency kit. A: 1) Chlorine to purify drinking water (usually there is lots of water; however, it is contaminated from sewer lines and water lines leaking and mixing together.). or O3 Liquid Oxygen purification and energizing and immune system booster drops. 2) Garbage bags (to use to protect your valuables, to cut out arm holes to make a raincoat, to keep your food safe from the weather and rats.) 3) 50 ft of nylon rope (to use to make a tent and other uses) 4) Plastic tarps (to protect your valuables, and to make a tent) 5) A Swiss Army Knife with lots of tools. 6) LED flashlight. 7) A hand crank generating radio, 8) Energy bars in sealed bags 9) Baby wipes. 10) Emergen'c' powered multi-vitamin and mineral powders.

13) Q: Where is the best place to put an earthquake kit? A: 1) On the roof of your house in a safe box. 2) In the trunk of your car 3) In a shipping container in the middle of your corporate workplace parking lot.

14) Q: What about books falling on you? A: In 23 years I have never heard of a single individual getting killed by a falling book.

15) Q: What about ceiling fixtures falling on you? A: They typically stay attached to the ceiling and don't fall away.

16) Q: Who will come to save my family in a major disaster? A: 1) You. You care more for and will do more for your family than anyone else will. In a major disaster the local 'forces' are overwhelmed. Do you really expect FEMA to save you?

17) Q: How do people get injured after the earthquake? A: By falling objects. Solution: spend as much time looking up to see what is above you as you do walking over the rubble and looking at your feet.

18) Q: What do I do after a major earthquake stops? A: Get ready for the next aftershock. Get in a safe place and stay safe. Never go back inside of a building until 2 weeks-4 weeks after the initial earthquake.

19) Q: What do rescuers do when a major earthquake occurs? A: 1) Think about their family. 2) Think about their duty to others.

20) Q: What type of structure is immune from earthquake collapse? A: None.

21) Q: How come nobody told us to stop going under doorways? A: If somebody who had been telling you to go under doorways actually told you not to do it anymore then they would have to admit that they made a mistake and expose themselves to liability.

22) Q: What happens when schools collapse? A: The legs snap when the ceiling falls on the desks. The ceiling doesn't break up because there are so many points of support. The ceiling stays intact and the weight snaps all the legs. You are left with rows of crushed desks and rows of wide open aisles to be safe in and escape to the outside by crawling through.

23) Q: How do I understand what an earthquake is? A: Think of an earthquake as 2 extremely large misshapen and rough edged objects sliding past each other.. Sometimes they get 'hooked' or caught up together until the forces pulling one object and pushing the other object make them break free. This built up force that is released is the initial earthquake. The forces which continue until the 'rough' area has been completely cleared are aftershocks. Remember an earthquake is NOT a single seismic event. It is a period of time ( usually less than a month) when you can have hundreds if not thousands of aftershocks. Most of these aftershocks are tiny; however, you can have a larger aftershock than the initial earthquake. Stay outside and safe. Go on vacation.

24) Q: How do I understand the 'force' of an earthquake? A: There are many hundreds of elements which determine how much force an earthquake will actually bring to your structure. A smaller magnitude earthquake can cause more damage than a larger magnitude earthquake if the smaller earthquake is closer to you or not as deep. Earthquakes under the Ocean have a lot of their energy absorbed by the Ocean itself. The type of soil is very important and the underground formations can cause earthquake energy to be amplified or even deflected from your area. I could write a book on this.

26) Q: What about terrorist explosions? A: The survivors are found in survivable voids (triangles of life) on the opposite side of the objects as the blast center.

27) Q: What about collapsed buildings in landslides? A: If the building is collapsed and covered by the dirt or rocks of a landslide then you will survive in the same triangle of life or survivable voids; however, you must have air to breath. Plumbing pipes and other conduit can provide Oxygen to the victims trapped inside of the landslide; however, it is much more difficult for the rescuers to locate entry points into the buried ruble. You can see video of Doug Copp searching inside of collapsed buildings buried under a landslide at www.amerrescue.org

28) Q: What is the most important thing for a 'rescuer' to have after a major earthquake? A: Have piece of mind that your family is safe because you told everyone about the triangle of life and the things you learned from this video, power point presentation and manual. This is necessary in order to do your duty to others than your family.

29) Q: What is the most important thing a survivor or rescuer needs immediately before and after a major earthquake? A: Before: Purchase a 'Quake Alarm' device which does for earthquakes what smoke detectors do for fires. It will give you enough warning of an earthquake for you to take action to save your life. It sounds the alarm as a result of the non lethal pre-destructive waves; thereby, warning you before the building starts to collapse. For less than $20, it has already saved the lives of an entire school of children. www.amerrescue.org After: Proper attitude: Be calm, be patient, be focused and pay attention (This is just the beginning of the ordeal.)

30) Q: What is the most important thing that you have learned from your experiences at major disasters throughout the world? A: All people look the same when they are squashed under a desk.

Read the following written testimonials of 3 children who survived the very first building that doug copp had searched.

Doug Copp didn't know that children had been in the aisle and that they had escaped, a few hours before. These 3 girls have now grown up to be women. They tell their stories of surviving, in the aisle, as they watched their friends being crushed. The links to these personal testimonials of these 3 children are below. The section referring to Lorena Maribel Leon is here for you to read. She better than anyone understands the difference between the consequences of 'duck and cover' and the 'triangle of life' She survived because her torso was in 'the triangle of life' or survivable void , next to her desk; however, her legs were underneath her desk (essentially, in the 'duck and cover' area.) Her legs were crushed under the desk. Her legs were amputated.

Here is an excerpt of her testimonial as conveyed by her pastor:

"Another case that touched me was one about a young girl from our church called Lorena Maribel Leon, a student from CONALEP (Technical School)(young teen agers) and who on that morning of the earthquake, was in one of the classrooms. Because she was seated at a student desk, she was unable to run away, and was left trapped amongst the furniture (in the aisle), which protected her from the ceiling that was falling on her, preventing her death. Due to the time that she spent with her legs trapped underneath the student desks before her rescue, the young girl lost her legs. She had the opportunity to be moved to and assisted at the Loma Linda Adventist Hospital.

A few months later, as a result of rehabilitation, and help of prosthesis, some young persons who helped in her rescue, family, and friends had the privilege of receiving her, making a big human fence at the airport, where she moved those who could see her walk on her own. Now she can enjoy a normal life with the blessing she received from God to form a Christian home with the support and admiration of those who know her." ARTI is in the process of contacting these witnesses to videotape their testimonials.

Time Magazine wrote about this same school that Copp had searched and Lorena had lost her legs in. Sara and Yolanda had survived 'untouched' in the 'triangle of life' while their friends had been crushed to death under their desks.



Click here to read John Gavin's (the movie star) and then American Ambassador to Mexico's letter of praise for Doug Copp's work. The Ambassador gave Doug Copp the complete and exclusive use of his limousine and uniformed chauffeur, for the two weeks that Copp was in Mexico City. Copp was transported from rescue site to rescue site, dirty, stinking and reeking of death, in the Ambassador's limousine. It was a bizarre sight to see Copp, in tatters, exit from a United States of America Official Diplomatic limousine and then crawl into the rubble.



Search the website for many more documents and video concerning Doug Copp's work in Mexico City; including saving the life of a newborn baby in a collapsed maternity ward.

Why do they tell such outrageous lies?

Dr Lucy Jones, Seismologist at Cal Tech, representing the 'bureaucratic forces' of 'duck and cover' has publicly lied. ARTI has a copy of the text of her speech. She 'tricked' her audience by telling them that the 'triangle of life' is "based upon fraudulent information because the Mexico City Earthquake happened before the children were in their schools. Doug Copp made it all up."

All ARTI members, would like to see Lucy Jones tell Lorena that she didn't have her legs amputated and she didn't see her friends get crushed because the children were NOt in the schools.

The fact is that Mexico City Schools start at 7 am and open at 6:30. Lucy Jones lied.

Another colleague of Lucy Jones , John Hardcastle, Emergency Services of Palm Springs sent emails to hundreds of people telling them that " Doug Copp is a wanted criminal. He is hiding from the law. There is a warrant for his arrest. That you can't believe in the 'triangle of life' because doug copp is a criminal." An ARTI member received a copy.

A communication, to his boss, the Mayor of Palm Springs put an end to Hardcastle spreading that lie.

Doug Copp: "You can see my home address, email and phone number at the bottom of this page. I am NOT hiding and I worked for 5 years as a decorated police officer. There is NO warrrant for my arrest. John Hardcastle is a liar.

Why are they lying? Why have they launched such a vitrolic, hateful and personal attack of lies against Doug Copp? I conclude that they have a fault in their character and they cannot defend 'duck and cover' by any other means other than lies. Is it NOt bad enough 'to lie to' and 'trick' people concerning the safety of their children? Is it necessary to lie about, disparage and defile the memory of the children who were killed. Personally, they disgust me.

There is No force on this earth strong enough to intimidate me and no amount of harm that can be done, to me; that I will ever abandon my mission, to prevent school children, from suffering the brutal, crushing death of 'duck and cover'." doug copp

Why should attention be given to these people? Why not ignore them? The answer: Disparaging the dead school children is just going too far. This is unacceptable. These viscious lies need to stop.

************************************************************** On August 8, 2008, a mere 7 days after ARTI publicly exposed Hardcastle as a liar; Hardcastle sent out emails stating that he is NO longer employed by the City of Palm Springs.

Now, we will wait and see how Governor Swartzeneggar and Cal Tech respond to Lucy Jones' lies. **************************************************************

ARTI and Doug Copp are in a titanic battle against intransigent bureaucrats and other individuals to continue and increase our ability to save lives by educating people concerning 'The Triangle of Life'.

"We will win all of our battles; including, our 2 filed lawsuits against these evil forces because too many lives are at stake..to fail. Good will always defeat evil, eventually. Have faith.

There is nothing else to do other than the right thing to do." Doug Copp



Doug Copp sliding under a slab at 911, 4 subterranean floors deep ( At one point, they had gone 2 floors deeper than even this), under millions of tons of rubble. The smoldering fire blackened Copp's face and lungs. Doug has been treated by 46 Doctors and Medical Specialists. He is gallantly fighting for his life.



Steve lentz, with Copp, under the rubble explaining how black everything is and how they had searched the entire subterranean area.

One of 2, NYPD Officer's under the rubble, near the parking garage ramp, with Copp. They had just heard rhythmic pounding and thought they had found a trapped victim. It turned out to be a life threatening danger. A backhoe was pounding and breaking concrete immediately above their heads. ARTI considers the NYPD to be the best in America.

Doug Copp spent 4 years arranging to have the Fire Dept of Athens, Greece and AKUT (National SAR of Turkey) work together as 'rescue brothers'. Doug had worked with both teams saving lives prior to this major step towards peace. Doug's goal was achieved during the 1999 IZMIT Earthquake. Doug, AKUT and Athens FD worked together, slept in the same room and helped bring peace. TV audiences of both countries watched us work together. Clinton came to Meet with the Presidents of Turkey and Greece to honor this bold step towards peace.

In 1998 Doug had tried to form an Northern Irish Rescue Team composed of both Catholics and Protestants. This project was unveiled during a 1/2 hr interview with Radio Belfast. It was well received by almost everyone. After the interview, Doug received a threatening phone call from the IRA which outlined many 'negative consequences'; such as, Our group being infiltrated by IRA who would shoot Ulster rescuers, on TV , at a rescue. Our ARTI project never came to be but thank God peace was achieved by others.

ARTI has accomplished a vast array of 'good works' other than rescue.



Peter has been a member of ARTI-NYC;since, 1997. He is a witness and has signed an affidavit regarding his personal experiences and observances at 9.11.

Some letters in support of our lawsuit:



Facundo Garcia, Captain of GOER Argentina and Director of ARTI , for Argentina smiles as he waits, in a Military Helicopter to go on another SAR mission. During a dangerous Helicopter Rescue Mission Facundo's helicopter crashed; causing him to have a few broken bones. Another team member was killed. Facundo returned to SAR as soon as his injuries and broken leg permitted. For Search and Rescue, Facundo works as an unpaid volunteer. He works for Sony Corp as a Security/ Safety Director to pay the bills.



Buenos Aires,Argentina, September 26th, 2006

To whom it concerns:

My name is Facundo Garcia. I am the team captain of the GOER (Special Operations in Rescue Team) from Buenos Aires, Argentina since 2001. I have been in the rescue community since the early 90´s in different fields including Alpine Rescue Teams and SAR teams.

I have been a member of ARTI (American Rescue Team International); since 2002, as an active member of the team and I also signed a cooperation agreement between my Argentinean team (GOER) and ARTI for future operations in South America in cases of disasters of any kind; including, earthquakes or any kind of problem related with collapsed structures that requires the expertise and professionalism of the ARTI and it's director, Mr. Doug Copp.

In 2004 I became the Director of Operations for Argentina of ARTI. I participated in many projects of ARTI, around the world, putting myself and members of my team on stand by for any call out in cases where ARTI required our expertise in high Angle / Rope Rescue / SAR techniques.

With Doug Copp and all other ARTI members we are all unpaid volunteers who put 100% of our expertise in different fields within the rescue community to save lives.

With professionalism, training, ethics and humanity above all, we have participated in many rescue situations that put our lives in danger just so others may live.

The sense of service to do our task and relief the pain of those who suffer in disaster scenarios, make our work worthy and keep our minds and souls complete every time we can do something for the human being.

Doug has been always a professional, skilled and dedicated person who put his life in danger dozens of times around the globe to save people from many countries, where and when NO ONE ELSE WANTED TO TRAVEL to Help.

He is a kind person who inspires all of us and many rescue teams around the globe.

His braveness, technical skills learned, in all those decades, working in the field and his dedication to save lives, make his heart a precious inspiration for all the people who have the luck to know him and have him as a friend and colleague.

Today, Mr Copp is an official member of the GOER with all the rank of technician/instructor due to his knowledge, expertise and great teaching abilities as an instructor of collapsed structure rescue & survival.

As soon as the efforts to save lives on 911, Doug Copp contacted me to brief me on all the efforts at Ground Zero that he and some other members of ARTI did over there.

He sounded sick and he started to feel really bad since the first day I spoke with him by phone. He told me about all what he suffered below ground zero.

He informed me that he was very sick as a consequence of his efforts to recover victims remains and in his search to ensure that no victims remained buried alive. He told me that the poisoned gases, vapors and more affected him very hard on his health. I personally remember times when I gave him a call and while his wife answered the phone, I heard the noise of him with abdominal pain and vomiting in the background.

With all that pain, and effort to survive, Doug Copp made another example of a man, like no other, who also is a survivor of the 911 itself.

.............................

I personally read the lies of the Albuquerque Journal and I believe they are bad intentioned, evil and also crazy, cos´ the work that Mr. Copp did for decades its UNDENIABLE.

There are tons of pictures, documents and videos of all the activities that ARTI and Mr. Copp have been making since the early 80´s around the world.

..................................

I was called by an NBC journalist, Mr. Raynar Ramirez for a telephone interview.

During the 20 minute interview, he was constantly focused to gather information about Mr. Copp and his rescue activities, but I noted that he was constantly asking me 'with dirty journalist' skills, questions to take out of my mouth any word against Mr. Copp. He was pushing me hard to almost have a confession about the supposed ARTI activities that never existed.

I answered the whole truth about what I know the ARTI and Mr. Copp and because Mr. Ramirez did not fulfill his expectations, to manipulate words out of my mouth against Mr. Copp. He ended the conversation without saying any more. He was not interested in the truth. He only had the desire to tell lies about Mr. Copp.

Doug is a selfless man who became a victim of 911 not only for the injuries he suffered; he had the worse thing that a man can have: A country which denied the work of a real hero who risked his life to save the lives of other Americans even offering his own life if necessary. He has been mistreated, forgotten and punished with a death penalty for only doing two things: Being a hero and telling the truth.

Sincerely

Facundo Garcia Inst.Facundo Garcia Captain / Directive Committee GOER  Special Operations in Rescue Team Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA

Dated 26 th September, 2006. Idstein, Germany. Written by Ralf Kulisch ( ARTI Germany; since, 1996).

"The first time (in 1996) I met Mr Douglas Copp...But the most impressing thing I learned from or about Mr Douglas Copp is, that his aim in life is, to help people in need, to save lives, to rescue people and to educate people to survive. And for this aim_ I think_ he would give away everything he owns, even his life!

...After 911..I was shocked. His ( Doug Copp) health had been so much affected, and his intention to help people has been so much questioned, because some people want to destroy him, and destroy his aim in life.

Because of his aim in life and our experiences together, he is and will ever be like a brother in my heart."

"...I have been a member of ARTI; since, 1994....I participated in many ARTI missions and projects. As is the same with all other ARTI members we are all unpaid volunteers. ...Doug has always been a dedicated, selfless, kind and caring person. He is a 'driven man', to use his life to do good.

...

...I accompanied Doug ... to meet with several Medical Doctors...Doug was too sick to travel alone. I was there to be a friend, help our Rescue Chief but ,also, to take care of Doug's remains, should he die.

I was present when the Doctors informed Doug of the consequences of their medical tests and combined diagnosis. Doug was informed that he had very little chance of surviving the operations. In fact Doug was told that he had a 30% chance of death during each of the 5 operations.

Doug is a selfless man who has become a victim not just from his 911 injuries but from the horrible way he has been mistreated."

Dated 25 th September, 2006. Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Written by ARTI General Manager, Bill Reeves.

"....I joined ARTI in the late 1990's. I donated some money to ARTI to help defray the expenses of Doug Copp's and some other ARTI members trips to New York...

...Doug Copp called me at least daily, often two or three times each day and often directly from the Ground Zero rubble, while he was in New York City. Based upon my communications with Doug and other members of the ARTI team, on site, I know that Doug devoted himself to rescue and recovery work at Ground Zero and do not believe he was involved...in any projects for personal gain.

I am aware that if any of the foregoing statements are willingly false then I am subject to punishment."

Carol Camelot,Dated 25 th September, 2006. Palm Desert, California, USA. Written by Carol Camelot.

"When I met Doug, in the Spring of 1998...he impressed me as very knowledgeable and selfless, even eager to put himself at great risk to save the lives of others in Catastrophes. I realized Mr Copp was a man with a tremendous background, in search and rescue. As Chairperson...for the City's Disaster Preparedness Organization..I requested a copy of his videotape explaining how the 'Triangle of Life' technique saves lives in earthquakes which he sent me, right away, at no charge. I have provided instruction in this principle to thousands of our residents via presentations and media interviews....for 7 1/2 years now Mr Copp has always been available to me..so that I might provide accurate information.... Mr Copp has never charged me for any of his time or consulting advice but instead has always been available to help at any time....

...After 911..I telephoned him...I knew this was a very dangerous rescue situation...for which he did not have to volunteer at all, yet he seemed calm, just getting his affairs in order, ready to fly out. With good reason we have admired the courage...because it does take a very special kind of person to willingly enter a building on fire or collapse knowing that you may never live to see another day.

Mr. Doug Copp ranks in my book up there with the best of them for his long time service to educate and save the lives of people in many nations around the world."

"...The day after I saw him on a TV program, on the Kobe earthquake (1995) I recognized Doug and introduced myself on the dock where our boats were moored.....I became an ARTI member in 2001.

...When Doug was given the great honor, of being invited (prior to 911) to demonstrate the Copp Casualty Locator at the 'world famous' San Jose (Silicon Valley,World Center of Advanced technology, CA) Museum of Technology, I assisted him in that all day presentation. Many of the people expressed their admiration of his program (triangle of life for survival) and of the device. The genius of it was well proven in the horror of 911. Where by using it, they were able to find many remains that would have otherwise become 'landfill'.

Doug is honest to the core, and this is combined with intelligence and passion for doing good. Since, 1985, his venue has been mitigating the agony of catastrophe; through search and hopefully rescue. Even when he was doing the grim work of body recovery, he was lessoning the pain of the survivors by enabling them to 'close the circle'.

...His work is valid and recognized worldwide. We in the US are fortunate having had few violent catastrophes of the magnitude of those abroad. When we run out of luck, as we surely will, his contributions will be recognized.

His personal luck ran out while clearing the tunnels underground at the World Trade Center. He was there as an unpaid volunteer, doing what he felt was necessary. I have absolutely no doubt ..."

Pancho is a key witness in our lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court of New York.Pancho is seen with the CCL prior to going to work with the NYPD at the Killer's Fields Landfill where he used the Casualty Locator to find 72 body parts. Pancho has 3 FBI Agents and 5 NYPD Officers as witnesses to the effectivenes of the Copp Casualty Locator; as well as, actual pictures of body parts recovered.

Doug did not work at the Landfill because he was already suffering from the initial phases of poisoning. Nose bleeding, coughing, headaches, fever, bouts of delerium. Copp saw Pancho off to work before going to a sick bed.

Every Major Disaster is overwhelming for almost all local or national teams and organizations. Experience has taught us a 'solid' concept; which helps us cope with all the 'mass flooding' of 'irreconciable differences', 'logically incompatible objectives' and 'negative overriding concepts'. These problems all seem to demand immediate attention; however, we surpass them, solve them and eliminate their confusion.

Our solution is to 'work for the victim', who is 'buried alive'. Our next mandate/imperative is to "work to recover the bodies of the victims. ".

By focusing our mind, on working for the victims, we do the right thing. Every time, at every disaster this procedure has worked to enhance co-operation, increase survivability, reduce suffering, promote 'good will' and to bring a 'calm and peace' to replace 'horror and nightmare'.

" October 12, 2005 To the Editor (intended for immediate publication as a letter to the Editor):

My law firm represents Mr. Doug Copp in connection with a pattern of defamatory treatment to which he has been subjected by the press arising out of his rescue efforts at the 9/11 site in New York City.

Your October 11th issue carried a Canadian wire service story concerning these rescue activities. Unfortunately, the wire service reporter, Alison Auld, did not do enough of her own reporting, choosing to rely heavily on outrageously false reports from an American newspaper and TV station which were motivated by a personal vendetta which will likely be resolved in an American court of law. Regrettably, we must now consider including your publication in that lawsuit. Limited space prevents me from detailing the many outrageous lies which your report has repeated (a detailed rebuttal could take up the space of an entire issue), libeling Mr. Copp's character, but I would direct readers to his website, http://www.amerrescue.org/, where a more complete account of his activities at Ground Zero can be found.

Among other things, I find the timing of your story very odd. It does not reference any new developments but merely rehashes the defamatory remarks last appearing in the press several months ago. Perhaps you can enlighten me; why did this story appear in your paper yesterday? To all appearances, you are acting as the pawn of larger media forces in an attempt to browbeat Mr. Copp into submission, causing him to abandon his rightful defense of his reputation by brute force. Even more disappointing, you choose to report the mere possibility of a criminal investigation against him without simply waiting to see whether any authority would choose to pursue any such action.

Suffice it to say that Mr. Copp has a long and honorable history of rescue service and he volunteered to go to Ground Zero and assist in the rescue effort there, risking his life without pay to help his fellow man. When he refused to participate in a dog-and-pony show for some reporters who tagged after him nipping at his heels, they retaliated with a defamatory series of articles based on half-truths and outright falsehoods. He then contracted a multitude of documented life-threatening illnesses and was formally adjudicated to be deserving of financial compensation from the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. The funds he received represented only a portion of the monies he needs to complete his treatment, which he cannot afford to pay for himself, ultimately meaning that his life will be cut short by many years.

Very truly yours,

Sheldon Karasik"

The Political Official's UHR Checklist for Effective Disaster Management in a Major Disaster Caused by an Earthquake

General principles:

Get rid of incompetent personnel as quickly as possible. Examples: Michael Brown of FEMA ( Katrina 2005) was representative of a culture of incompetents whose pursuit of self interest, greed and self opportunity effectively halted participation of effective and caring individuals. This caused unnecessary death and suffering. Congress is currently voting to abolish FEMA.

Appoint Effective Personnel quickly: President Duarte ( El Salvador 1986), placed a personal friend who owned one of the largest construction companies, in Latin America, in charge. The Indian Government placed Sanjay Gupta (Gujarat, 2001, Deputy Minister of 7 departments) an organizational genius, in charge. (I provided him with the technical knowledge which he implemented. We saved the lives of 100,000 to 250,000 expected fatalities by the strict implementation of effective disaster reduction and elimination actions. This genius recovered the area to pre-disaster economy, culture and lifestyle within 2 years instead of the worldwide 10 year standard.)

If you had not prepared sub-rescue and recovery teams pre disaster then do so immediately following the disaster. Examples: A Military Team to do the rescue at the collapsed military command headquarters ( Turkey 1999); A Police Team (NYC World Trade Center Collapse); a Secret Police Team ( for intelligence centers ..examples kept confidential).

Allow an 'open doors policy' to all International Rescue and Recovery Organizations with the following caveats; understand that most Government Teams usually have a military/ intelligence capability with some intelligence officers posing as 'rescuers'. You must place a guide and /or an interpreter with these groups to restrict, control and direct this potential negative impact. This was effectively controlled in Taiwan (1999) and Turkey (1999) etc

Understand that some International Political Teams are solely 'political' and the members of these teams are not willing to risk their lives for your people; such as, the USA DOD Team El Salvador (1986), FEMA in Armenia (1988), Pompiers de Paris (El Salvador, 1986); Japan Team (Mexico, Peru, El Salvador). They should be allowed entry; however, firmly controlled to prevent loss of life. Do not allow them control over a major site with trapped victims.

Airport, Port and other Entry Centers require an arrival desk to take care of the transportation, assignment of rescue site, translation, liaison with host country and other activities.

Try to eliminate inherent theft, corruption and opportunism by assigning the Police Chief, Military Police and others the role of enforcement, immediately.

Understand that the field operatives in International Organizations; such as, UNDP and others are satisfied with 50% theft rate and are very happy with a 25% theft loss. These organizations will not publicly admit it; however, it is a fact of life. Try to reduce or eliminate this loss.

2) Teach 'the triangle of life' survival program to everyone you wish to survive; otherwise, you run the risk of all your key personnel being squashed/killed during the initial earthquake. Their families must ,also, be taught 'the 'triangle of life' otherwise your key personnel will be forced to choose between their family and their 'duty/job'. Dead rescuers rescue nobody.

3) Take a deep breath, clear your head, calm yourself and go to this checklist. It is not uncommon for leaders of all positions and types to become swept up into an hysteria. Reject this and calm yourself.

4) Use your cell phone wisely. Have 3 phones, with 3 assistants co-coordinating your effective communications. Have many charged batteries and a battery charger which can be run with a car battery.

Approach:

If your actions are effective enough to take care of the weakest, most fragile of the effected populations then it will be a great success. This is how Political Officials are measured; consequently, 'awarded' or 'punished' post disaster.

In Greece(1986) the effectiveness of EPPO could be measured by the fact that an elderly lady would be safe, protected and on her way back to a semi-normal life within 48 hours.

She had: a)warm or hot food and water (supplied by the military and German Technisches Hilfswerk type portable and mobile kitchens), b) shelter ( an army tent erected by the Boy Scouts) c) A shower and sanitation ( provided by the army with shower tents) d) access to medical treatment ( Located on The Naval Ships which are a natural seismically resistant platform and a hospital tent compound, near the collapsed/damaged hospital). e) free phone service via free phone banks were established for victims to call anywhere, in the world. In the case of Greece the 'fund raising' through relatives around the world provided an unprecedented amount of disaster funding. f) Mobile Services in tractor trailers ( The Post Office provided trailers with PO Boxes to be issued to victims; the banks provided banking trailers for processing Gov't pension checks etc.. )

Compared to an 'old lady', in Japan ( Kobe 1994)A parade of Protestors 50 miles long with 1,400 suicides caused by unnecessary suffering.: a) Only the mafia ( Yakusa) provided the population with food. All other sources of food were prohibited or refused entry into port ( USA, Korean and other ships filled with food stuffs were rejected.) People scooped up rain water from the gutters to drink. b) Shelter: City Hall provided 100 card board boxes for lucky people to sleep on the floor, in City Hall. many died from exposure. c) Shower and Sanitation: Even after 2 weeks none was yet available. d) Access to medical treatment: none publicly known. e) free phone service for emergency personnel only. f) Mobile Services in tractor trailers; None.

Compared to USA (FEMA, Katrina 2005) Scandalous. Congress holding a vote to abolish FEMA: a) Food: FEMA stopped many food distribution efforts and /or refused entry to organizations capable of providing emergency food. b) Shelter: Six months later shelter is still in storage and not distributed. c) Showers & Sanitation: Toilets were overflowing in the football stadium shelter.Victims Corpses were allowed to decompose on the sidewalk for weeks and victims in homes were not searched and recovered until many months later. Bodies disappeared permanently. d) FEMA stopped medical treatment to victims in progress and allowed the victims to die because the Doctor's were not on FEMA's list. e) Some free calls to FEMA; with no response. f) mobile services: limited.

Checklist: Issue many orders , as fast as possible. These orders are not necessarily in order and must be done immediately (obviously, impossible to get everything done at once but this is the goal):

a) Declare all buildings to be evacuated and prohibit people from reentering buildings. In earthquakes, there will be many aftershocks (expect at least 5 big ones, possibly larger than the initial quake). More buildings will collapse. This is a major mistake of organizations like FEMA and the American Red Cross. They are actually endangering more lives or causing the death toll to increase. The Greek Government Agency EPPO is the best at this and should be emulated.

b) Arrange for temporary housing to be erected in a safe and open place; for example, The Main Public Parks. This was accomplished effectively, in Mexico City (1985), Turkey (1999) and Greece (1986).

The army has multiple positive and effective UHR Management uses. They should either; erect, military tents for the general population or Request the Boy Scouts to put up their tents and military tents.

c) Arrange for a command center to be established in an open space. Tents are better than command trailers. Command Trailers can fall over during an earthquake (unless you anchor each corner with 30 meters of chain and a truck tire with a long scope and buried 2 meters deep). Erect signs indicating where to find : The new 'City Hall", Military Command Posts, Minister of Interior Center, etc These command posts should all be clustered near the 'major disaster area'.

d) Arrange the participation of Private Contractors as volunteers. Construction personnel and Companies who volunteer will most certainly perform the most effectively. Award post disaster contracts on the basis of 'assistance volunteered' during the crisis. The Costa Rican Earthquake of 1991 is the best example of corporate volunteerism ranging from heavy equipment contractors repairing the bridges and highways for transportation; Tractor Trailer companies delivering all relief supplies for free; Bottling Companies stopping the production of soda pop and shipping out purified water instead; General Contractors providing UHR Required Heavy Equipment for major sites.

e) Arrange for water and 'food stuff' grade tanker trucks to deliver purified water to the population. Do not turn on the water supply until all leaks from sewer systems have been repaired. (India, 2001)

f) Protect Historic Sites and Museums from looters.

g) Get rid of rats and dead bodies quickly. Poison rats and assign the military the task of killing rat populations. Unchecked rat populations will explode with the 'boon' of this sudden food source inside of the collapsed buildings. Examples: In India, 2001, bodies were burned in pyres, at the site, of the recovery.

h) Do not allow religious beliefs to recover the bodies of victims interfere with or to be the cause of death for trapped victims, in another section of the rescue site. ( Turkey, 1999)

i) Move Hospital staff to a safe open and tented area with Electrical Generators before following earthquakes cause collapse.

j) Pass a law enforcing and requiring all Hospitals and public Buildings to remove emergency supplies and tents from their basements and place them on the roof. A tent under the rubble is worthless. A tent on a roof is maintained in perfect, undamaged condition.

k) Distribute a warning to all helicopter Pilots both Military and Civilian that Helicopters shall be required to stay above 300 meters altitude. Below this altitude the 'down wash from the blades can cause collapse of weakened structures; example of mistake; President Fujimori's Helicopter during the Southern Peruvian Earthquake of la Mina Juanillo, (1997).

l) Mark all searched buildings with spray painted easy to understand language which states that it has been searched (or not), the location of live, dead and injured victims from the premises. This will prevent wasted time and bureaucratic logjams. Do not use the International marking System adopted by FEMA and other Governments. It is elitist, confusing, ineffective and phony.

m) Put proper pressure on the International Donor Communities to provide what you need. Not what they think you may need and actually don't. Don't accept false promises and lies ( Oklahoma City Explosion, 1994). Be as pushy and as forceful as it takes to get the job done.

n) Disposal, treatment, religious services for casualties: Be Considerate of Religious Concerns; however, do not let the dead cause more death. Body bags and lime should be plentiful. Collect dead bodies at sporting complexes (soccer fields) unless the dead must be cremated immediately to prevent plague or disease.

o) Separate Latrine or public toilets for men and women should be created immediately by the Military. It should be staffed and lime should be used and available easily.

p) Create a truce with rival political parties or guerillas during the crisis. Do not allow your military to break this truce. Example: Guerilla attack on La Union followed by a retaliatory, yet illegal, US Forces surprise attack on city La Union. ( El Salvador , 1986)

r) Know your Foreign Ambassadors and Consuls. Some of them can be a surprising asset to you and will react on a personal and humanitarian manner during the disaster. Example: David Cockerham of Great Britain during the Earthquake in Kobe, 1994 and US Ambassador Gavin of Mexico City , 1985 were both international superstars who were God sends to the country they were assigned to.

s) Foreign Military assistance should be carefully watched yet utilized as an invaluable resource. Try to make personal relationships which transcend pre disaster antagonisms.

t) Use the radio and TV Stations to warn the populations of immediate dangers, where to go for assistance and to practice the 'triangle of life'.

u) Access technology to swiftly locate dead and live victims.

v) Know the 'worldwide' and 'national' players who would be important participants. Arrange for their effective participation ahead of time. Arrange for the National Airline and Military to facilitate and transport participants.

x) Arrange for your foreign embassies to actually be open and available for passport, visa and emergency services 24/7. Politics is the number 1 cause of death at major disasters; followed by, embassies shutting down or closing on weekends and after normal work hours.

z) Dead people are patient. People buried alive are in a hurry. Focus your countries actions on buildings containing the most survivors. Example: Do NOT check apartments if the earthquake happened during business hours. If the earthquake occurred during sleeping time then search homes and apartments first.

more...

Attitude: Use common sense. Know: "It is what it is" and "it is real and happening to you!" Follow these instructions and call 1-902-567-1227 for more details and everything will be as good as it could possibly be, under the circimstances.

Think before you act. Take another deep breath. Rest as required. If you go beyond your limits and become ineffective many people will die. Rest as your body and mind will allow you to ACHIEVE the most good. Expect the unexpected, be responsive to changing events and strategies.

Let heros, people who want to do good and effective people rise to their full capabilities.

Do not allow your bureaucracy to stop the flow of goodwill and loving concern, from good people, around the world.

You must not only be good; you must be wise.

There is a disaster preparedness event planned at Seattle Center Exhibition Hall on October 21 & 22nd.

I have also learned that despite your television coverage in this area many are still being taught duck & cover. Maybe it's time to come wake the Seattle area up before it's to late.

Dear Rosita:

We are making a 90 minute video called the 'Triangle of Life'. The producer is almost finished. I am getting a first edit tomorrow.

I am profoundly pleased because it uses real footage of myself and my team saving the lives of victims in the 'triangle of life' , actual footage in the disasters, and a fantastic interview with tremendous accompanying and illustrative footage.

Most importantly and with great clarity it shows the utter insanity of 'duck and cover', from it's birth as a series of 'Cold War' propaganda commercials.This propaganda was distributed by the US Government. The commercial we use shows a family at a picnic. When the NUCLEAR FLASH from the Atomic Bomb appears, in the distance.... the singing jingle of 'Bert the Dancing Civil Defense Turtle' starts to sing while the mother, daughter, son and pet dog all 'duck and cover', under the blanket. Except for the father at the barbecue! He can't reach the blanket! He is too far away! He puts a newspaper over his head and 'duck and covers' under it!! I am not kidding! I am serious! This is how 'duck and cover' started. It absolutely 'blows my mind' . I am left incredulous.



When I think back of all the crushed, squashed bodies; especially little children ....and their pools of blood .... I have crawled past and through, in the rubble, emerging with their blood on my body and clothes..... all as a result of this utterly bizarre propaganda campaign getting out of control.... I am left speechless. This is where the policy of 'duck and cover' which has a Universal 98% death rate originated. To understand that many millions of people have died because of this ludicrous nonsense is bewildering.

Bloodsuckers and completely immoral, unethical and indeed murderous phony 'experts' have been promoting it ever sense.

Anyone who sees this film will be bewildered, shocked and stunned that they could have possibly been so 'brain washed' as to believe they could have possibly 'duck and covered'. The viewer will feel like he woke up from a trance.

I have spent 10+ years in preparation to make this film. Financial beneficiaries of 'duck and cover' have libeled me, slandered me and done every kind of slimy, deceitful, evil and mean thing to me except 'drag me out and hang me'. Well, this video makes it all worthwhile.

Finally, it all came together with our footage, our script, and our genius producer ( Ed Flemington). I believe this video is a masterpiece and will save millions of lives. This video will finally squash 'duck and cover'.

The following link is something we did not use but it is a parody of 'duck and cover'.

My speech to the Chinese Government, July 2005, starts with:

"An MSN conversation between doug copp, ARTI Chief, and John Mc Intosh, ARTI webmaster about a triangle of life speech, in China:

cybersurfer says: Duck and cover is valid for snow ball fights, among children, not for building collapse Doug says: That is good. I might use that. cybersurfer says: Hey use this one, too, duck and cover is useful for locating the children when its all over.. just look under the desks cybersurfer says: That wet spot under the desk is "Little Bobbie" Doug says: no kidding Doug says: I remember



I remembered crawling up and down the aisles of a collapsed school and seeing every child squashed. Only a little hand or foot escaped. This was in Mexico City, in 1985. I learned that 'duck and cover' was death and people survive in spaces next to desks. I discovered the 'triangle of life' or 'it discovered me'.
