攝影師使用帶有熱成像攝像機(jī)的無人機(jī)找到了失蹤的6歲兒童

Recently, a photographer named Steve Fines proved once again that technology, when used right, has the ability to save lives. At the hands of the photographer, a drone with a thermal camera helped to save a 6-year-old boy who had been missing for 10 hours in 30-degree cold.

最近，一位名叫史蒂夫·費(fèi)內(nèi)斯的攝影師再次證明，如果使用得當(dāng)，技術(shù)有能力拯救生命。在攝影師的幫助下，一架裝有熱成像攝像機(jī)的無人機(jī)幫助拯救了一名在30度的嚴(yán)寒中失蹤10個(gè)小時(shí)的6歲男孩。

Last Tuesday, 6-year-old Ethan Haus from Becker, Minnesota got off the school bus and rushed to play with his dog Remmie. Right after that, the child was nowhere to be found.

上周二，來自明尼蘇達(dá)州貝克爾的6歲男孩伊桑·豪斯從校車上下來，沖去和他的狗狗雷米玩耍。就在那之后，孩子就不見了。

With no trace of what might have happened to the boy, a search operation was started.

對男孩可能發(fā)生的事情沒有任何線索，搜索行動開始了。

More than 600 volunteers joined the efforts to find Ethan, however, the search was made difficult by the cold, as the temperature had plummeted below 30 degrees.

600多名志愿者參與了尋找伊桑的工作，然而，由于氣溫驟降至30度以下，搜尋工作變得非常困難。

Almost 8 hours after the boy went missing, his footsteps had been found by the volunteers. That’s when professional photographer, Steve Fines, who was using his drone with a thermal camera for hours, finally received the direction in which to look for the boy. “I had seen the shape that I thought was the child and dog,” Fines told KARE 11. After 10 hours of exhausting searching, Fines located the boy with his camera.

男孩失蹤近8小時(shí)后，志愿者發(fā)現(xiàn)了他的腳印。就在那時(shí)，專業(yè)攝影師史蒂夫·費(fèi)內(nèi)斯(Steve)終于收到了尋找男孩的指令。他的無人機(jī)上裝有熱成像攝像機(jī)，已經(jīng)用了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)。“我看到了那個(gè)我以為是孩子和狗的形狀，”費(fèi)內(nèi)斯告訴KARE 11。經(jīng)過10個(gè)小時(shí)的艱苦搜尋，費(fèi)內(nèi)斯終于找到了帶著相機(jī)的男孩。

Ethan was found about a mile and a half away from his home. The boy was cold but paramedics confirmed that he is in good health.

伊桑是在離家一英里半的地方被發(fā)現(xiàn)的。男孩很冷，但醫(yī)護(hù)人員證實(shí)他身體狀況良好。

While the photographer rightfully received many praises for participating in this incredible search of the missing boy, he didn’t forget to thank all of the community that helped to make the search successful.

雖然這位攝影師參與了這場令人難以置信的尋找失蹤男孩的行動，理所當(dāng)然地得到了許多贊揚(yáng)，但他沒有忘記感謝所有幫助搜索成功的社員。

“I just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to all the folks who have reached out to me after my drone and thermal camera helped find Ethan a couple nights ago in Sherburne County. While I was running the camera that found him and some of the news stories have focused on that, I only knew in which direction to look because volunteers on the ground had found a footprint that pointed me in the right direction. I knew which areas had already been searched because of the excellent coordination of the Sherburne County Sheriff. I had other volunteers running radios to coordinate ground search parties – the people moving across really rough ground to find him,” Fines wrote in his Facebook post.

“我只是想衷心地感謝那些在我的無人機(jī)和熱成像照相機(jī)幫助我在幾天前的一個(gè)晚上在雪本縣找到伊桑之后聯(lián)系我的人。當(dāng)我用相機(jī)尋找他的時(shí)候，一些新聞報(bào)道也聚焦于此，我只知道往哪個(gè)方向看，因?yàn)榈孛嫔系闹驹刚甙l(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)腳印，它為我指明了正確的方向。由于舍伯恩縣治安官的出色協(xié)調(diào)，我知道哪些地區(qū)已經(jīng)被搜查過了。我讓其他志愿者用無線電來協(xié)調(diào)地面搜索小組——人們在崎嶇不平的地面上尋找他。”
