For the scenario of this case, a disaster has struck and demolished many buildings and structures. Whether it was an earthquake, an explosion or an alien attack, there will be debris from fallen structures which make possibly trapped people inaccessible. Till today still many people don't get saved in time and die due to the severity of there injuries. Although the rescue techniques have improved over the years, a better solution has to be made to tackle this problem. Some of the current techniques used in rescue missions are:
- rescue dogs, which able to smell people trapped under layers of debris
