摄影师使用带有热成像摄像机的无人机找到了失踪的6岁儿童

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·费内斯的摄影师再次证明，如果使用得当，技术有能力拯救生命。在摄影师的帮助下，一架装有热成像摄像机的无人机帮助拯救了一名在30度的严寒中失踪10个小时的6岁男孩。

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，来自明尼苏达州贝克尔的6岁男孩伊桑·豪斯从校车上下来，冲去和他的狗狗雷米玩耍。就在那之后，孩子就不见了。

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多名志愿者参与了寻找伊桑的工作，然而，由于气温骤降至30度以下，搜寻工作变得非常困难。

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.

男孩失踪近8小时后，志愿者发现了他的脚印。就在那时，专业摄影师史蒂夫·费内斯(Steve)终于收到了寻找男孩的指令。他的无人机上装有热成像摄像机，已经用了好几个小时。“我看到了那个我以为是孩子和狗的形状，”费内斯告诉KARE 11。经过10个小时的艰苦搜寻，费内斯终于找到了带着相机的男孩。

伊桑是在离家一英里半的地方被发现的。男孩很冷，但医护人员证实他身体状况良好。

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.

虽然这位摄影师参与了这场令人难以置信的寻找失踪男孩的行动，理所当然地得到了许多赞扬，但他没有忘记感谢所有帮助搜索成功的社员。

“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.

“我只是想衷心地感谢那些在我的无人机和热成像照相机帮助我在几天前的一个晚上在雪本县找到伊桑之后联系我的人。当我用相机寻找他的时候，一些新闻报道也聚焦于此，我只知道往哪个方向看，因为地面上的志愿者发现了一个脚印，它为我指明了正确的方向。由于舍伯恩县治安官的出色协调，我知道哪些地区已经被搜查过了。我让其他志愿者用无线电来协调地面搜索小组——人们在崎岖不平的地面上寻找他。”
