[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 117555, member: 18210"] Never thought flying drones would make for a sad experience but the past few days have changed that. This past Wednesday evening three high school kids aged 17 had their dory roll 90° after being broadsided by a wave in the Cascumpec Bay area (Western, P.E.I . Canada). Boat got away from them in the rough water, unfortunately no life jackets were being worn at the time and only one was able to swim to shore, that being a miracle in itself. Search parties and locals have been working ever since trying to find the other two. One was found yesterday (by sonar) snagged on the bottom but the second has yet to be found. I've been flying missions trying to help and stayed till dark this evening. I figured today would be the day but had no luck. There's at least two other drone pilots flying missions including a RCMP Sergeant. We have a storm rolling in tomorrow so that will put off searching for a while. Sure hope we can find him so his family has at least that little bit of peace in a horrible situation. ? [/QUOTE]
