Tom, I never said anything about using helicopters for regular operations for 75 people. I said, “I’m not sure why helicopters haven’t been an option to shuttle employees in an emergency for a few days with all the millions of dollars at stake.”
Such as when MK Observatories were abandoned in July and the protectors wouldn’t allow two technicians to go up Mauna Kea Access Rd. to work on a critical piece of equipment quickly, and also if need be in the future if they were to shut down Saddle Rd temporarily until those protectors leave because of no resupply of food, water and cleaned luas.
HPD would takeover access to Mauna Kea so it would no longer be an issue for MK Observatory employees to come and go as they wish.
I’m not sure arresting hundreds of people up there with hundreds of police is really the best solution. What’s the next step?
