Desert rescue beacons let immigrants call for help
Phester: see how I changed your comments to conform with Rantburg formatting. Your comments are on a separate line, with no brackets. Thx.The beacons are 30-feet-tall and solar powered. They have sun reflectors and blue lights At least they've been able to "re-purpose" K-Mart detritus. on top that are visible for 10 miles. The beacons have signs in three languages WTF - THREE - which ones? that direct users to push a red button that sends out a signal for help. During a nearly one-mile hike through a tree-covered area used by migrants, reporters encountered rough terrain, bushes coated in thorns and even a hissing rattlesnake Oh my!. I'm all for it as long as authorities take the unfortunates South after rescue. Posted by: Uncle Phester 2014-05-01 |
