The most terrifying and strange experience I ever had was in the woods of Oregon, with a magically happy ending, when I already knew about the special touch features in the iPhone. Their car broke down and they had no idea how to get back home when the six family members set out in the foothills of Mount Hood National Forest, where they had enjoyed a long, tiring hike. Because nightfall was near and the weather was worsening, it could be said that hope was waning.
Luckily, one family member had a lifeline: the iPhone’s Emergency SOS satellite. The captive was tied to a rope above the canyon, so the parachute kit provided a way to immediately contact the search and rescue movement via [SOS Menu] iPhone without cellular service. The signal revealed a twenty-four-hour search and rescue operation that was fought against poor weather conditions.
Search teams worked to conquer terrain that proved nearly impossible to overcome, even with ATVs and land crews. The same situation continued with the Air Force helicopter as it got stuck in dense clouds and blizzards. Therefore it was forcibly put on the ground. However, a snowcat from a nearby county, which was an expert in such conditions, eventually arrived and mastered the steep terrain to reach the stranded family. The night was as cold, wet, and shivering as the next day had been, but fortunately, the family was taken back safely before nightfall on the next day.
This is an example of the lives that can be saved by calling for emergency assistance via satellite thanks to this service. It provides the last resort in the life of climbers, which is communication and connection even when they are in remote places on the planet. Considering the compression property of fuzzing-enabled communications, messengers can be communicated even over low bandwidth networks. This is the clearest proof of what technologies can do and what volunteers can do as a team to help people.
