Drone Rescues Man: For the second time this week, heavy rains pounded China’s Guangxi region, hitting Rongjiang city the hardest, where three rivers meet. Record-breaking rainfall displaced over 80,000 people and claimed six lives. On Saturday, rising floodwaters submerged half of the already-affected riverbank city, forcing more than 40,000 residents to evacuate in haste.
Drone Rescues Man in China:
A heavy-lift drone dramatically rescued a man stranded on a collapsing roof over raging floodwaters. The drone, weighing 100 kg, lifted the man to safety within a minute. A witness captured the moment on video, showing the man suspended beneath the drone, his legs dangling from the harness as it flew 65 feet above the ground.
The jaw-dropping rescue stunned social media users, who flooded the viral video with praise and amazement. Some viewers commented, “China’s drones now do what half the rescue teams can’t,” while others joked, “China is living in the future.” One user suggested using such drones for mountain rescues to save stranded hikers in remote areas. However, some people mocked the drone’s weight limits, claiming it might not suit the average American due to the country’s obesity issues. Still, by deploying advanced technology to evacuate people from flood zones, China showcased how innovation can transform disaster response. The drone rescue reflects the country’s bold and creative approach to emergencies.
