The operator will have just four minutes to lure a dog to the net, and another four minutes to fly it out.

“What we don't want is to run out of battery when flying over the lava,” Pereira said.

LOL! That would be a pretty bad thing.

Good old CNN. Helicopters can’t fly near that volcano not because of gas damaging rotors, but because of ash entering the gas turbine engine causing it to fail.

Helicopters are banned from flying to the area because of hot gas that can damage their rotors.

So we’ll send in drones with twice the rotors made from plastic? Yeah drone catching dogs sounds like a winner. Scare them right into the lava

A noble endeavor, sounds like something the guys over at hackaday will publicize...

Someone has been using drones to drop food for the stranded dogs, but this here idea is not going to work, imho.

I just hope the drones don’t scare the dogs into the lava, or that the dogs (G-d forbid!) fall from the drone loop into the larva. Isn’t there a cage with a remote control operated lock they could lower down to the dogs?
