A Chinese earthquake rescue team deployed drones to light up the night and aid search and rescue operations after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

It's so good that technology is advancing and helping people

Especially drones. I'm so tired of seeing some helpless Ukrainian or Russian soul spend his last moments on earth looking at a faceless machine that's being controlled remotely with a god damn playstation controller. Even worse was those aid workers last year who were chased miles, under constant drone attacks, only to perish under something that was likely being ordered by poorly trained AI software.

If it makes you feel any better, US fire departments(well funded ones, anyway) have been using drones for similar use cases for the last few years. 

Search and rescue, lighting, fire reconnaissance, and even deploying water rescue equipment.

There's as much good in this world as there is bad. It just doesn't sell as well in the news
