Sometimes the solutions are right in front of our faces. Yet nobody sees them.
It first takes that one creative person to connect the dots. Kudos to that man. He is a hero.

Rescued by a drone piloted by a guy who can't swim but felt he had to do something. He did!

This reminded me of human beings taking forever to put wheels on suitcases. Once somebody did it, it was like duh! It's crazy to see Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin carry their own suitcases to the launch pad. I know they are not suitcases, but you get the point.
It took us until 1970 to finally put castors on luggage:
quote:
In 1970 an American luggage executive unscrewed four castors from a wardrobe and fixed them to a suitcase. Then he put a strap on his contraption and trotted it gleefully around his house.
This was how Bernard Sadow invented the world’s first rolling suitcase. It happened roughly 5,000 years after the invention of the wheel and barely one year after Nasa managed to put two men on the surface of the moon using the largest rocket ever built. We had driven an electric rover with wheels on a foreign heavenly body and even invented the hamster wheel. So why did it take us so long to put wheels on suitcases? This has become something of a classic mystery of innovation.

That is very cool. Are we not going to acknowledge that this was done by a man who is from or has close ties to New Iberia. Bc from what I can see he clearly does. Good on him though.

Yep, he didn't do like so many people today would--------take video of the girl until she went under and drowned.

Awesome story. Leave it to an autist that uses a drone to cast his bait to reinvent life guarding at beaches.

There’s some Asian country that has been doing this.

Simple solutions are usually the most practical.
Smart dude.
