Daniel Keenan

I am a British journalist who specialises in foreign affairs. I recently purchased this URL to set myself up a website and decided to hone my web designing skills by building it around people with the same name as myself.

The West Orange Police and Fire Departments responded to a report of a car accident with injuries on I-280 on July 30, 2019. While Daniel Keenan and other members of the Fire Department discovered one lifeless man on the shoulder as well as additional people with injuries from another collision, the police arrived to find the driver of one of the vehicles unresponsive.

A food truck attempted to pass between a police car blocking the centre lane and the accident scene while the police and fire departments were attending to the scene. Police and fire crews stopped the food truck, but a series of multi-car collisions involving a dump truck, police cars, the fire engines, and other highway users followed. First responders inside the rescue truck giving help to the unresponsive patient were thrown around and struck cupboards and each other until coming to rest when one of the fire engines was struck in the chain reaction.

As the accident’s severity increased and flames could be seen coming from the dump truck, further assistance was dispatched to the area.

As first responders and victims of a car accident were already on site, Daniel Keenan hurried to the rescue truck to assist. All injured first responders and bystanders were sent to nearby hospitals, where they received additional care.

Roseland Mayor James Spango wrote on the Roseland Borough website, “The borough would like to join the 200 Club of Essex County to recognise all of the first responders that day, but especially Roseland’s own, Daniel Keenan, for their heroic life-saving efforts under the dangerous and chaotic conditions that unfolded at the scene.”

Daniel Keenan has been employed by NASA for more than 18 years and has worked on the Thermal Protection System (TPS) for over ten years. 

Daniel Keenan’s main responsibility in TPS is to make sure the orbiters are fixed properly and that the thermal protection system is prepared for flight, which includes inspecting the crew hatch door seals, main landing gear doors, and leading edge surface structure. As a member of the launch crew, he provides support for launches as needed and conducts the TPS Runway Inspection following the orbiter’s successful runway landing. 

He has worked as a human factors engineer throughout his career, where he oversaw the creation of NASA’s first “Human Factors based Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.” Daniel Keenan served as the primary architect of KSC’s Core Technical Capabilities Laboratory Management System, a web programme that allows lab managers to regulate the obsolescence of their equipment and access consumables data that the Center uses to optimise lab spending.
