TEL AVIV, Nov 9: An Israeli firm has received an order for hundreds of parachutes from a Michigan-based US company for its employees working in high-rise buildings, the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot said.
The order from the unidentified US firm comes in the wake of the sept 11 attacks, the paper said. Avco Aviation, based in the Israeli coastal town of Ceasarea, is working round the clock to meet demand, its boss, Anatoly Cohen, said.
“We have set up a production line for emergency parachutes that we have modified to meet the needs of people working on the upper floors of high-rise buildings,” he said.—-AFP
