Video - A Dutch student unveiled a prototype of an “ambulance drone”, a flying defibrillator.

Each year nearly a million people in Europe suffer from a cardiac arrest. A mere 8% survives due to slow response times of emergency services. 

The ambulance-drone is capable of saving lives with an integrated defibrillator.

The goal is to improve existing emergency infrastructure with a network of drones. This new type of drones can go over 100 km/h and reaches its destination within 1 minute, which increases chance of survival from 8% to 80%! 

This drone folds up and becomes a toolbox for all kind of emergency supplies.

Future implementations will also serve other use cases such as drowning, diabetes, respiratory issues and traumas.

A Dutch-based student on Tuesday unveiled a prototype of an “ambulance drone”, a flying defibrillator able to reach heart attack victims within precious life-saving minutes.

Developed by Belgian engineering graduate Alec Momont, it can fly at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour (60 miles per hour).

“Around 800,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the European Union every year and only 8.0 percent survive,” Momont, 23, said at the TU Delft University.

“The main reason for this is the relatively long response time of emergency services of around 10 minutes, while brain death and fatalities occur with four to six minutes,” he said in a statement.

“The ambulance drone can get a defibrillator to a patient within a 12 square kilometre (4.6 square miles) zone within a minute, reducing the chance of survival from 8 percent to 80 percent.”

Painted in emergency services yellow and driven by six propellers, the drone can carry a four kilogramme load — in this case a defibrillator.

It tracks emergency mobile calls and uses the GPS to navigate.

Once at the scene, an operator, like a paramedic, can watch, talk and instruct those helping the victim by using an on-board camera connected to a control room via a livestream webcam.

The prototype has already attracted the interest of emergency services including that of Amsterdam, the Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad said.

Egyptian Cleric Hisham Al-'Ashri: 911 done by the US Airforce !  It Is the "Dream of My Life" to Wage War against Israel; There Is No Such Thing as a "Christian Religion"
Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian cleric Hisham Al-‘Ashri, which aired on Al-Tahrir TV on January 10, 2013.

Al-‘Ashri, who recently returned to Egypt from the U.S., has established a committee for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice.

Interviewer: Does the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11 constitute Jihad?

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: Well, it depends who did it. Jihad is only for Muslims. They even say “Jihad” in English because they have no equivalent.

I call on everybody to type in Google “911”, and then click. You will get an incredible amount of videos, documents, and documentaries made by Americans – not Muslims, Arabs, or people of Arab origin – proving that the Islamists had nothing to do with 9/11, unless they were targeted.
The two planes that hit the World Trade Center were military planes, not civilian ones.

Interviewer: So, those who led this...
They were controlled by...

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: By the US airforce.

Under Mubarak, Egypt did not have a war for 30 years. Israel, on the other hand, did not last for 30 days without a war. The U.S. did not last for three months without a war.

Interviewer: That’s true.

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: England and France did not last for three years without a war.

Interviewer: But these were not direct wars...

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: Yes, they were. America is fighting a direct war...

Interviewer: I was referring to England and France.

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: They joined America in the Iraq war...

Interviewer: They fought wars outside their borders.

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: They sent fighters to fight. Our concept of war is that it is great to live in peace, as long as you do not enter a war in which you will be defeated. Got it? When I do not engage in a war for 30 years, but I allow my enemy to have a war every 30 days – this is negligence.

Interviewer: Does that mean you are calling us to wage a war against Israel?

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: It is the dream of my life to wage war against Israel, under the command of the state, the president, the regime, and the army. I will not decide all by myself to start a war.

There is no such thing as a Christian religion. Did Jesus come to prophesy the Christian religion?
Interviewer: He came to prophesy his religion...

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: The Christian religion?

Interviewer: Or did he come to call people to monotheism?

[...]

Hisham Al-‘Ashri: In Islam, we believe that our religion is the true religion, and that the Muslims will enter Paradise. Out of love for the Christians, I call upon them to enter Paradise with me.Source: Memri.

According to the site, in the past, Al-Ashri hand tailored suits for former U.S. president Bill Clinton, former secretary of state Colin Powell, and a number of prominent congressmen while working for a famous New York garment factory.Hmmmm.....Nice 'people' who used to live in the USA?
