Casey Ryan and his pal crafted a plan that would have made MacGyver proud
“I’ve been doing search and rescue since 2007,” said Jason Bowman, a search-and-rescue coordinator with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. “And this was by far the most unique way I’ve ever seen somebody call for help.”
In the late afternoon, about 30 miles into the forest, Ryan and his friend came across a woman stranded on the snowy road in a black Mercedes van, he said. Ryan offered to help pull the van out. But as he turned his pickup around to get in position to hitch it to the van, he reversed into a snowdrift. Ryan and his friend tried to dig the truck free with shovels as evening came, to no avail. All three travelers were stuck.
Then Ryan’s friend recalled media reports of smugglers using drones to drop phones into prison yards. He suggested using Ryan’s camera drone to bring his phone high enough to find a signal.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.The plan required some trial and error. Ryan’s small, palm-sized DJI Air drone was not designed to hoist a bulky iPhone 13. He first tried taping it to the top of the drone, but a sensor detected the extra weight and prevented the drone from flying.
The driver of the Mercedes was “mind-boggled” when Ryan and his friend told her of their plan, he said. But the disbelief soon turned to celebration. They all cheered at the sight of the drone descending safely, phone still attached.
