Elon Musk’s ridiculously advanced submarine didn’t assist throughout the #ThaiCaveRescue, however let’s not cross out innovation right now.
Scottish climber Rick Allen was conserved by a drone after he falling throughout a solo climb of Broad Peak mountain in the Himalayas, BBC reports. Allen’s climbing up bag was identified by a base camp employee, triggering the drone to be sent to effectively find him, according to the publication. He was then saved by Sherpas and other climbers.
The 65- year-old had actually been missing out on for 36 hours, the BBC stated. At 26,401 feet (8,047 metres) above water level, Broad Peak is the 12 th greatest mountain on the planet.

It’s not the first life that’s been saved by a drone. Back in February, two swimmers in Australia were saved when a drone, piloted by a lifeguard, dropped a rescue pod as they struggled against the current.Â
The drone that located Allen was piloted by two brothers, Andrzej and Bartek Bargiel, who flew it to an altitude of over 27,500 feet (8,400 metres), reports the Telegraph. Aside from cuts and minor frostbite, Allen was rescued without significant injury.
