Chris Mottl, a Providence, R.I., Roto-Rooter plumber, spent five days using his Ridgid/Kollmann SeeSnake drain camera to search for any survivors of the World Trade Center collapse.
"I still can't sleep," Mottl says. Mottl knew the drain camera attached to a 150-ft. cable could help explore hard-to-reach places. Sure enough, when he described the camera system to Federal Emergency Management Agency officials, he was told to "get down here as soon as he could."
