Civilian Drones Search and Rescue Documentary



From a YouTube post on civilian drones in search and rescue in 2013 that I thought would be important to bring back.

I cannot believe how the FAA sacrificed Gene Robinson. He did some amazing things, solving missing persons in minutes vs hours, days and weeks.  Texas was really critical on drones and now they are one of the more accepting states.

This documentary details the bureaucratic challenges faced by search and rescue personnel and their desperate need for civilian drones which are restricted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Countless lives could be saved with this existing and affordable technology, but the government prohibited their use in 2007.
