When his truck got stuck on a mountain road in Oregon, Casey Ryan wrapped his iPhone in a paper towel and tied it to a drone, hoping it would pick up reception so he could send an SOS text.
“I was like, ‘That’s ingenious,’” Ryan said.
He threw the drone gently upward to give it an extra boost. It wobbled and struggled at first, then slowly lifted up into the night sky. Ryan piloted the drone with an older, spare phone. He watched nervously as it rose.“It got to the point where I almost couldn’t see it,” he said. “ … I was thinking, ‘Man, my phone has never flown before.’”
turned to celebration. They all cheered at the sight of the drone descending safely, phone still attached. Ryan asked his wife, who was out of the country, to call AAA to tow the two stranded vehicles. It was late evening by then, and Ryan said he didn’t alert 911 at first, as he didn’t want to occupy emergency services, believing their situation wasn’t yet urgent. The three travelers slept in their vehicles overnight when help didn’t immediately arrive.
