Oregon Man Pinned by Boulder Calls 911 Using Siri From His Earbuds

The man was trapped under a boulder that the police said likely weighed a “literal ton” and could not reach his phone. He used Apple’s Siri to call 911, his mother said.

That the responding LEO used a drone to almost immediately locate the victim upon his arrival at the scene is testimony to his intelligence/training and just how useful drones can be.

The jetties are a very unforgiving place. Ive fell a few times including off the rocks into the water trying to net a coho by myself and it scared the crap out of me.
