Look what I found
Years ago there was an expression: “If I could be fly on the wall…” meaning it would be interesting to spy on people, their conversations and their actions to find what really went on in private at the neighbor’s house. Then we got the smart phones and smart TV’s that can listen to us 24/7. Now the spy equipment of the movies is in our pockets every day. On a lazy Saturday morning, Josh Logue sent his hobby drone up for a routine flight. Unusually heavy rainfall had turned a dry canal near his Brighton, CO, home into a rushing overflowing stream, and Josh, 18, wanted to check out the torrent from the air. Josh saw what looked like a large shadow over the road. “I zoomed in on it. Oh, it’s a frickin’ car in a giant hole down there!” At the time Josh’s father, Jake, was chatting with the neighbor Ryan Nuanes in the driveway as Josh yelled about his discovery. Nuanes, a firefighter with the Denver Fire Department, saw the picture, knew the accident could be serious. So the three of them hopped in the Logue’s pickup truck to check on it themselves.
At the scene, the upside down Jeep’s horn was blaring nonstop, obscuring the voices of a man and a woman inside. Nuanes called 911, then they heard the cries for help. Water had flooded the sinkhole to around halfway up the doors. Two people were inside. They’d been trapped for around 15 minutes. Six more inches of water would have submerged them completely. The washout was about seven feet deep, enough that the Jeep wasn’t visible at the road’s surface. Logue’s aerial perspective from his drone would have been the only way to spot the trapped vehicle from afar. With the Jeep pitched upside down and water filling the sinkhole, They sounded calm. He heard a male voice say they had just enough air. A female voice added, “But we don’t have a lot of time left.”
The father and son team chained the Jeep to Jake’s pickup truck to pull it onto its side so that first responders could access the doors and free the two passengers. Officers rescued a 66-year-old man and a 61-year-old woman., The man was seriously injured. Responders quickly took the two passengers to a hospital. After the rescue, Josh and his father shared a proud moment. Jake recalled how he congratulated his son: “‘Dude, you just saved people’s lives!’” Josh began flying drones as a hobby and can spy all kinds of activities over a pretty big area. He has 13 drones now and hopes to become a professional drone pilot in the future. After the lifesaving rescue, his résumé is off to a good start. “It’ll be a story that I’ll tell,” Logue said.
Spy in the sky
What’s the easiest way to find a spy in the United States?
Ask them to sing the Star-Spangled Banner.
If the sing more than one verse, you have your spy.
If you think that your computer, laptop and phone spying on you is scary then think again,
Because your vacuum cleaner has been gathering dirt on you for years.
Apple had to stop spying on its competitors…
they had a lack of Intel.
President Biden ordered an F-16 missile attack to destroy the Chinese spy balloon
Americans are thrilled. It’s the first thing he’s done to combat inflation.
