Thursday afternoon, Pensacola shark fisherman Andrew Smith had just clocked out of work when he decided to head to go fishing.
Good thing too because Andrews wound up being in the right place at the right time to save a teenage girl from drowning and didn't even have to get his feet wet.
Andrew can't swim because he has a seizure disorder. But he had his drone with him, so he used it to drop her a flotation device.
'Apparent the young girl was losing steam very fast.'
"I flew it back out, and after the first one, I could tell how windy it was," Smith said. "Then I lowered it down, I had to go slower and slower down to her because that was it. That was the last opportunity we were going to have."
In his second drop, the mission was successful.
"I lowered it until you could see her hands grab it, and then I lowered it a little more and I released it," Smith said. "She climbed on and started floating."
The girl was checked out by a medical team and sent home with a clean bill of health.
