Hardiman of Trackers Global described some of the high tech equipment that was to be utilized in this weekend's search. They have a boat that can go down the middle of a pond and determine whether or not there is a body anywhere in the pond. While we did not discuss any limitations in terms of the pond size or depth, it is truly an extraordinary advance in search and rescue technology.
