Deputies with the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office in Baldwin County answered an emergency call three days ago when two teenagers who were aboard a float that was taken out to the sea due to strong currents. The deputies used s remote USAFE rescue device to rescue the two teenagers and take them back to shore safely at Fort Morgan. The USAFE remote rescue device is important to execute rescues since it saves the risks of using human lifeguards to execute rescues of persons at sea. Thank goodness that everyone involved is safe and sound after the rescue mission was completed. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/us/...

I am in agreement with you since it appears that robots will be used to perform missions these days.

@Deepizzaguy though those robots and AI are good, they do not have the human compassion and feelings

Remotes comes in handy to rescue persons in trouble since it saves lives from the lifeguards.

That would be scary to be drifting out to sea.

Being dragged to sea by a strong current is scary.

That is a new one on me. I had not heard of that type of rescue before. It is good more lives were not put at risk, and the rescue was successful.
