New technology can be extremely helpful when a dire situation takes place. On October 5th, an Amtrak train in Vermont was derailed, and was in very bad condition, leaving 6 people injured. In order for authorities to respond to the derailment, they had to locate the train, and they did this with drones from the University of Vermont. The drones took many pictures that were geo-located, showing where the train was. Without these drones, the response may have been delayed, leaving people injured and panicked for even longer than they were. With our advanced technology, people who are in bad situations can easily be located, accessed, and rescued.
