The article on “rescue-bots” echoes questions of my own following the deaths in West Virginia. It was hard for me to believe that ten hours had to elapse before rescuers could descend; granted there was a risk of further collapses if another explosion was touched off, but surely a small team wearing personal breathing systems and carrying oxygen for the victims could’ve saved lives. Or at least tried!
Alas I know nothing about underground rescues; no doubt there are good reasons for them to tarry. What are they?
