'Need urgent help': Man's drone hack prompts flood rescue

He said the message was sent to the man's father and included their latitude and longitude, saying they "need urgent help" after their car was broken down and boxed in by floodwater.
The message also said they had plenty of provisions and were safe and warm in the tent, but needed assistance.
Insp Kersley said a search party, including police, local SES volunteers from Cardwell and Cassowary Coast Regional Council staff with a front end loader, set out early Tuesday morning. He said they had to cut through six fallen trees and shift two landslides before reaching the group about 1.30pm.
