Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan Bieley, 15. It was the fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive at the gym for her P. E. class. .
"There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I didn't remember" anything, said Morgan.
The roof(屋顶) of the gym had fallen down under the heavy snow. Morgan couldn't get away. “I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I was starting to get cold.
Luckily, help was nearby. A new program using "rescue(救援) robots" was tried for the first time.
"We were nervous about using the robot," said Deric Sneed, the leader of the program." But in the end the robot gave us exact information. .
The robot was able to go into the gym and find Morgan's place. “Once we made sure where Morgan was and knew it was safe, our men went in to rescue her," said Sneed. "Her leg was broken and she was scared, but thankfully, she was alive."
Doctors say that Morgan is doing well.. "I want to meet my hero after I get out of the hospital," laughs Morgan." That little robot saved my life!"
