Bulldozers tackle Pentagon debris
Thursday, September 20, 2001
Washington -- Workers used miniature bulldozers to remove debris yesterday from damaged sections of the Pentagon. Officials said they have identified 33 bodies from among the 189 people believed missing or dead after last week's attack.
"There's a lot of pathways the Bobcats came in and cleared out," said Army Sergeant David Andino of Tulsa, Okla. He is among 200 soldiers sorting debris and helping to remove bodies and evidence.
As of yesterday, 118 of the 189 victims had been recovered. Thirty-three were identified at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, said Tom Davies of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Workers have removed 4,500 tonnes of debris from the site in Arlington, Va., just outside the capital.
