Drones and robotic dogs surveyed the unstable at the parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday.
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York --
Crews continue to rely on machinery and technology to clean up and survey the rubble at the Lower Manhattan garage collapse.The FDNY's digidogs have played a big role in the days following the garage collapse by navigating through rough and unstable terrain. One of the robotic dogs helped first responders locate the body of the garage manager who was killed in the collapse.It was met with criticism for the heavy price tag, but he says their use in this building collapse has demonstrated how valuable they can be.It's a critical tool because the site of the collapse is not stable enough for first responders right now.
"We deployed our robot dog into the building and they were able to give us a video inside, and then we were able to fly our drones inside to conduct an assessment and conduct searches," said John Esposito, FDNY Chief of Operations.
