I could imagine it being useful for search and rescue missions

- derekjdanserl 5y agoHow often are drones used for anything of that sort? Any actual examples? Or are you just purely fantasizing?
- Aeolun 5y agoJust found a quick example. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-56673116 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-5...
- ceejayoz 5y agoDrones are pretty quickly being adopted by search and rescue and firefighting organizations. No reason to think that's gonna stop. https://www.birminghamtimes.com/2021/11/video-drone-rescue-spy-in-the-sky-finds-missing-woman-within-seconds/ https://www.birminghamtimes.com/2021/11/video-drone-rescue-s...
