China: Drone Rescues Stranded Fisherman From Rising River in Zhejiang

On October 13, in Lishui, Zhejiang, a video captured a man fishing when the river’s water level suddenly surged, leaving him stranded in the middle of the current. Chen, a local drone operator, quickly responded by deploying a crop-spraying drone with a maximum takeoff weight of 150 kilograms. The footage showed the drone hovering above the river and lowering a rope for the man to grab before airlifting him to the riverbank in just two minutes.This is the tense moment that a drone pilot in China used an agricultural drone to save a fisherman trapped by a sudden flash flood.
