Thanks, Tom...that's exactly what I meant.

Mike375 and team 713 have good points. By all means, I meant no disrespect. Of course, robots will not and cannot replace firemen. I realize that this is a very sensitive issue... but I was simply trying to help. These heros who spared and risked their lives should always be revered and remembered. For those in the NYC area who are directly affected by the atrocities of 9-11, my heart goes out to you, your families, and your friends.

The meaning behind my suggestion was to only provide a tool for our firefighters and rescue workers to use. I cannot even imagine what the NYC community is going through and I thought the suggestion might spark some thoughts that could help the situation.

Respectfully,
Andy B.
