70-Something Man Suddenly Drops Head... The Unexpected Identity That Captured 'SOS'

A man in his 70s, who was on the verge of exhaustion while collecting waste paper in the scorching heat, was safely rescued thanks to a drone.

This is the first piece of news, which is a truly welcome and fortunate testament to technological advancement.

On June 26 in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, a drone camera on patrol captured a man in his 70s pulling a handcart fully loaded with waste paper.

At the time, the elderly man appeared exhausted while climbing a hill, sitting down helplessly by the roadside and dropping his head.

As he did not move for a significant amount of time, the drone monitoring team notified police officers patrolling nearby of his location and situation.

The dispatched police officers checked the man's health condition, and fortunately, there were no major abnormalities, though he was on the verge of exhaustion due to the sweltering heat.

After regaining his strength, the elderly man walked up the hill with the help of the police officers.

It was reported that the police had deployed the drone to the scene because crowds had gathered due to a traditional market day coinciding with the relentless heat wave.
