 On
page 73 of the May/June, 2003 issue of Underwater
Magazine, VideoRay is featured in an article entitled "Searching
for Shuttle Debris." The article includes an interview with
FBI Dive Team Coordinator Robert Chacon. Excerpt:
Underwater: How did the Phantom ROV Perform?
Robert Chacon: "Our Phantom 2+2...proved too big
for this particular environment. Most of the search area we were
in was 12-15 feet (4-5m) in depth with heavy vegetation and it was
easier to splash divers than utilize the Phantom in that environment.
The Savannah River Authority had a bit more success with their VideoRay
ROV, due to its much smaller size."
