"Developers Urban Aeronautics believe the dark green drone, which uses internal rotors rather than helicopter propellers, could evacuate people from hostile environments and/or allow military forces safe access.

"Just imagine a dirty bomb in a city and chemical substance of something else and this vehicle can come in robotically, remotely piloted, come into a street and decontaminate an area," Urban Aeronautics founder and CEO Rafi Yoeli told Reuters."

Apologies to those Universities signed on to the Israel Boycott movement, BDS.

The rescue drones won't be coming for you, but not to worry, we're sure your better buddies will have rescue camels or something in the rear of the campus for you. Good luck.

Wish we'd had those things on 9/11. They'd have been mighty useful that day.

No UAV's needed when you can toss burgers.
