Today, New York, visited the president. American course. But as always, I walked past. In fact, there is such a big difference in how moved President, in contrast, for example, the President of the Russian Federation. (Now I can say that I saw both). Barack Obama is a big motorcade, and for him, too, cover the streets. Around the route of its movement as strapped large police force. But there are small nuances that change the entire impression of his passage, compared to passing the same Putin, whose motorcade I repeatedly I watched in St. Petersburg. So on that it seems to be and what is not.

The first difference is that Obama is flying in a helicopter, and it does not need to cover the entire city, and it is enough to close the road from the landing of the helicopter to the destination. And it's much difference. The second difference is that, for a time blocked the road.

Today, the presidential plane landed at John F. Kennedy airport, and from there to a few helicopters and accompanying Obama went to Manhattan. Having landed, were transferred to the machine, we stopped at the memorial to 9/11, and then went to the fundraising event for the election campaign. Just in the range from landing the helicopter, before departure from the memorial, and I caught the motorcade of US President in his lens.

In the morning I read the news about the arrival of Obama. I have read and forgotten. And in the afternoon, I stumbled upon a small crowd of onlookers standing near the helipad in lower Manhattan. On the site itself has stood the presidential motorcade cars.

Well, the car of the president of course. They are actually two.
03.



Then I remembered the morning news, and decided to look at the matter more closely. I went to the terminal for ferries to Staten Island. Up to this point about the visit of the president of the city resembled nothing, but as soon as I get closer, as the police began to appear in large numbers, and blocked the street for pedestrians.

Police was not much, but a lot. I did not even imagine that it could be so much in the city. Himself Heliport is on the water, next to a busy highway called FDR drive. (FDR is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States). Accordingly, in order to leave out the president's motorcade, it is necessary to block this route. The photo Heliport is the right of the green signs that the center.

The closest approach was not as all blocked off for pedestrians. But not for cars. Vehicles driven without problems. The police only just customized drivers.

06.



Finally came the first helicopters. Black Helicopter US Marine Corps.

07.



Behind him the second. The movement is not blocked, the car free ride.

Gray helicopter also belongs to the Marines

Then I realized my mistake. I wanted to make a video on the motorcade, but realized that contrary Heliport is the entry to the tunnel and the motorcade will likely go there. So I decided to change, and headed for the exit from this tunnel on the other side. Already in the course of the rented presidential helicopter comes in to land over the ferry terminal.

Along the way, watching the cork out. Without traffic jams still not done. Although Moscow standards it's not plug and so congestion at the traffic lights.

Five minutes later I reach out from the tunnel. Here there dumbfounded guy who left the underground parking and suddenly saw a bunch of street and covered with police.

12.



The movement of the tunnel is already blocked in both directions. On the road there are two police cars with flashing lights included.

At 17.50 of the tunnel appears motorcade. At 17.43 I filmed visiting a landing helicopter. 7 minutes ago here even drove the car.





After the motorcade the streets were deserted for several minutes.

15.



At 17.53 at him again allowed transport. Total traffic was closed exactly ten (10) minutes for the passage of the US president. All the time I took photos. After the Russian reality it was like something unusual.

16.



But I was unhappy perspective, and decided to remove the motorcade once again for what has gone in the direction of the 9/11 memorial. I took the bus on the way to the police livery.

17.



Going for a memorial tower of the World Trade Center under construction and I stumbled on motorcycles from the presidential motorcade that stood on the sidelines. I decided to wait here. While waiting, my son sat on one of the motorcade of motorcycles and photographed.

18.



I'm not a fan of motorcycles, but these are good. This Harley Davidson Road King.

19.



The police are on their travel. This staff unit Highway patrol. Their original form: with a soft-top cap, breeches with white and blue stripes and high leather boots. In cold weather they are brutal leather jacket.

20.



Nearby stood a police detective in plain clothes. These girl came with her son and asked to be photographed. Like son loves special agent. Police happy to pose for a long time and then it pereshuchivalis. The black car of.

21.



Yet there were several police cars escort. In the back seat sat Secret Service, they can be distinguished by the small icons on the lapel of his jacket.

22.



At 18.39 police cars blocking traffic again.

At 18.45 there is a presidential motorcade. How many open movement you will see at the end of the roller. Obama was riding in the second car, and no one waved. Probably I was not available.



Immediately after passing all odds.

26.



The police begins to remove barriers. Although the barrier is a strong word. I stood by the hole between the iron barriers, and all worried that my son jumped under the wheels.

When sailing on the ferry home, I took the presidential helicopter

28. all. Thank you for the attention.
