In under 24 hours, two people will die unless we get drones out to Joshua Tree

2 hours after posting this, I now have a fleet of 20+ drone operators with gear at the ready. Fixed wing, multicopters, and hopefully a few FLIR cameras in the mix.<p>Waiting for Justin Samenfeld to get back to me in the morning. He&#x27;s burning $3k an hour on helicopters. :&#x2F;

UPDATE: The missing couple has been found alive near the Mexican border! Thank you for all of the help and thank you to the drone pilots who volunteered.

Where did 24 hours come from? This is insanely sensationalized.

At the risk of sounding callous this is why I carry a PLB with me (and you should too) when I go hiking.<p>Edit: just wanted to also mention you can rent PLBs (personal locator beacon).
