[notfred]

I would sh!t my pants if I saw that thing picking up giant rocks coming to "rescue" me.

Stupid swear filter... now I'm not the first to post this.

 

[Buttzilla]

[beatle]

I hear it's powered by old people's medicine.

OMG!!! EVAS!

 

[TommyVercetti]

And like usual, there is a really crappy and small photograph.

 

[loup garou]

Man, the Japanese really love their robots...

 

[vi edit]

How do you transport that thing around?

Yeah! I wonder if they have demented children piloting those things?

I have a hard time believing that Enryu is Japanse for "rescue dragon". Why would they have a word for "rescue dragon"???

I have zero comprehension of the Japanese language but their words may be structured in such a way that different syllables are words themselves. They just tack them together to make a bigger word/phrase.

"ryu" means "dragon". Make sense now?

 

[Tetsuo]

That's awesome

[VTBigBear]

[Grey]

I went to their website and found a ton of movies on the rescue dragon

Movies for Enryu

 

[TheVrolok]

Wow.. that looks like fun!

Damn, just think how many lives we could have saved if US developed this technology before 9/11. Those thousand's of firemen/policemen's lives would have been saved. Damn US Department of National OFFENSE, needs to get their head outta their ass and stop making bombs to blow people up and make something more useful...

...While morbid, I will let you in on this. It was well published that not as many people survived the collapse of the buildings as the intial panicked news reports led everyone to believe. It was something like they were not find whole corpses but pieces of bodies.

I doubt this would have helped anyone on 9/11. Maybe in earthquakes it will be of more use.
