Wireless signals from the rubble

<A HREF="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010916/tc/attack_wert_dc_2.html">Yahoo</A> has an article stating that technicians have confirmed dozens of wireless signals that have originated from the wreckage of the World Trade Center since Tuesday's attack.

``We do have 50-plus open cases where we have had signals detected at ground zero since the attack,'' said Kark Rauscher, who is heading up a coalition of wireless companies helping look for survivors.

``We realize that we may be the only hope that some people have, so we're going to do everything we can,'' Rauscher said on Saturday. Rauscher is Lucent Technologies Inc.'s director of system reliability.

In one case, two people apparently trapped together in the wreckage have placed separate calls, possibly with separate phones, although they have not been heard from for at least the past day, he said.
