Israel Using New Tech to Try to Rescue Trapped Workers
(Times of Israel) Shoshanna Solomon - A four-story underground parking garage under construction in Tel Aviv collapsed on Monday, killing four and injuring 20, with 3 construction workers believed trapped underground. Israeli rescue teams are working using fiber-optic cables and new technology that tracks cellphones to pinpoint the location of trapped victims, Col. Ramtin Sabti, head of the Jerusalem and Central District of the IDF Homefront Command, said Tuesday. The new technology to track cellphones helped save one of the trapped victims. Some 500 IDF soldiers are involved in the rescue efforts alongside civilian units.
