Firefighters in Sicily rescue 400 rare books from library after landslide
AI Summary
Following a devastating landslide in Niscemi, Sicily in January, firefighters have rescued approximately 400 rare books from a library perched precariously on the edge of the resulting chasm. The library, containing roughly 4,000 books including rare editions dating back to the 16th century, was at risk of collapsing due to the ongoing landslide which has already displaced over 1,600 residents. The recovery operation involved drilling through a wall and carefully extracting the books while monitoring the building's stability with drones, laser sensors, and vibration detectors. While hundreds of books have been saved, many remain in the basement, and officials are considering using robots to retrieve them due to the high risk of collapse as geologists predict further land movement.
