Quang Ngai: Using drones to rescue isolated drivers on Lo Xo Pass

On October 28, Mr. Ho Dac Dien, a member of the Lo Xo Pass SOS Team (specializing in rescue on Lo Xo Pass, Quang Ngai Province) said that he had mobilized drones to transport food and supplies to drivers and assistants who were isolated on Lo Xo Pass, an area bordering Da Nang City and Quang Ngai Province.

According to the Lo Xo Pass SOS Team, due to the heavy landslides on the pass, it was difficult to walk across the dangerous area to deliver supplies. Therefore, from the afternoon of the same day, the team borrowed a local drone (usually used to water coffee and durian) to transport food, water and necessities to the pass.

By 5:45 p.m., the drone had made five supply flights, each carrying 30 to 50 kilograms of goods, food, and water. The team is continuing to prepare the last transport of the day, bringing meals donated by the people to the drivers. It is expected that if the landslide is not resolved by tomorrow, the team will continue to use the drone to transport relief goods.

As reported, since October 26, landslides occurred on Lo Xo Pass in Da Nang City and Quang Ngai, causing traffic disruption, leaving about 35 vehicles with 50 people stuck on the pass for many days.

Over the past two days, forces from the Traffic Police Department of Quang Ngai Province, Ngoc Hoi Traffic Police Station, Dak Plo Commune Party Committee and the Lo Xo Pass SOS Team have made efforts to wade through mud and cross the landslide area to supply food to isolated drivers.

Drones are being used for relief efforts.
