A eight-propeller drone takes off in Sichuan’s Maoxian County on June 26. A landslide on June 24 engulfed a village in the county, leaving 10 dead and another 93 missing, according to a report by Xinhua. The 2.7 meter long, 45.5 kilogram drone is able to scan the entire landslide area in 30 minutes. The three-dimensional scans could help rescuers distinguish centimeter-long differences to predict collapses following the landslide. (Photo/People's Daily Online)
