With the technology we have today, it's magnificent to see how impactful devices like drones or the SOS button on iPhones can be in order for SAR teams to aid people who are stranded in secluded places. I commend the man who sent out a drone for SAR teams to rescue him. Special thanks to the team for saving the man's life. Please stay safe out there!
