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.
