Quang Ngai: Drones used to rescue drivers isolated on Lo Xo Pass.

On October 28th, Mr. Ho Dac Dien, a member of the Lo Xo Pass SOS Team (specializing in rescue operations on Lo Xo Pass, Quang Ngai province), stated that they had mobilized unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to transport food and supplies to drivers and assistant drivers who were isolated on Lo Xo Pass, the area bordering Da Nang City and Quang Ngai province.

According to the Lo Xo Pass SOS Team, due to severe landslides on the pass, walking across the dangerous area to deliver supplies was very difficult. Therefore, from the afternoon of the same day, the team borrowed a drone from a local resident (commonly used for watering coffee and durian trees) to transport food, water, and necessities up the pass.

By 5:45 PM, the drone had completed five supply trips, each carrying 30 to 50 kg of goods, food, and water. The team is preparing for the final trip of the day, bringing meals donated by local residents to the drivers. It is expected that if the landslide is not cleared by tomorrow, the team will continue using drones to transport relief supplies.

As reported, since October 26th, landslides have occurred on the Lo Xo Pass in the Da Nang and Quang Ngai areas, disrupting traffic and leaving approximately 35 vehicles with 50 people stranded on the pass for several days.

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