When Casey Ryan got stuck in the snow on a remote mountain road east of Eugene, Oregon, and couldn’t get cell service to call for help, his buddy came up with an ingenious idea.
The 37-year-old photographer used a drone to fly his iPhone high into the air allowing him to send out a text to his wife telling her where they were and asking her to call for help.
The next day, rescuers found Ryan and his friend and helped them get out of the snow and were also able to help another motorist who’d been stranded nearby for days.
