NJ Troopers Go Car-Fishing With Robots 2

Posted by samzenpus on Friday March 06, 2009 @02:53PM from the best-headline-ever dept.

New Jersey State Police plan on going car-fishing with the help of divers and underwater robots next month. Environmentalists say many cars and trucks have been shoved into the lower Hackensack River, polluting the northern New Jersey waterway with gasoline, oil and antifreeze. The car-fishing crew will attach air bags to lift them to the surface so they can be hauled off.
