Well, I didn't think't they'd go down anywhere. Just help lifting and moving away some
of the heavy stuff in a faster manner.
Some of them can lift tons, and they could organize shuttle service.
I had expected some rails, temporary constructions for easier access to those piles of
rubbles, seeing more people called in. Last night they were missing volunteer steel
workers. I'd expected they'd be called in within 24 hours of the collapse. Maybe it's
just the reporting that makes it looks like they depend on volunteers. Why wasn't the
national guard there before the first nightfall?
However, I guess the CNN doesn't really show a true picture of the rescue work. To me
it looks like... well it raises questions about it all. I guess it is more
professional than it looks, and that I'm missing things on the magnitude and other
aspects.
There are some feature reports I'd like to see done on this. I guess I don't have
access to the right TV-channels.
Anybody knows under what/whose command and organisation this work is being done?
Federal, state or city, like...?
