The other day, in the city of Mengzi City in Yunnan province, a two-year-old boy fell into a dry well, more than 10 meters deep. A little more than an hour after the accident, a team of firefighters arrived at the scene and tried to pull the boy out of the well using a harness specially made for adults, but their attempts failed because the child was too small and fell out of the harness. One of the firemen he thought that an iPhone would help them assess more precisely the position of the boy in the well, so the device was lowered near the boy, he filmed his position and with the help of the recordings, the firefighters managed to get the child out safely and unharmed.
Firefighters in China's Yunnan Province use a smart phone video camera to rescue a toddler trapped at the bottom of a well shaft. Emergency services were called after the child's cries were heard coming from the bottom of a narrow 40-foot well in a village near China's Mengzi City. During the tricky rescue operation the young boy kept slipping out of rescue harnesses that were designed for adults. But in a twist of ingenuity, the team lowered an Apple iPhone with a video camera allowing them to see the boy's position. The close-up recordings are used to better position the ropes around his small body, allowing them to pull the distressed child to safety.
Of course, any smartphone would have been useful in this situation, but at hand was the iPhone terminal, which once again becomes a "hero" in the country where it is so controversial. Yesterday I spoke to you about a child who, helped by Find My iPhone, discovered an iPad tablet and stolen goods worth $350.000, today we learn that an iPhone helped save a 2-year-old child and I wonder what we will learn tomorrow about the "Super iPhone" .
