Winnipeg paramedics were able to rescue a person in medical distress with the help of a drone Wednesday afternoon.

Police in Randolph County, North Carolina have released video from their drone as it helped locate a missing 81-year-old Sunday.

A drone, a picture on social media, and some extreme luck were all it took to save a man’s life this weekend, when flood waters from former-Hurricane Matthew left him trapped in the attic of his house.
