MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Rescuers in New Hampshire have come to the aid of a man who got stuck dangling 60 feet (18 meters) high in a tree while trying to retrieve a drone.
Daniel Lacourse tells WMUR-TV the drone got caught in the tree at Lafayette Park in Manchester two weeks ago. Earlier efforts to free it didn’t work, so he borrowed a friend’s climbing gears, looked up “how to climb” on YouTube and went up the tree Wednesday.
Once he got up there, Lacourse was just hanging onto a rope and says he “just didn’t expect it to be so difficult and take so much endurance.” His friend called the fire department.
Firefighters used a ladder truck to secure Lacourse’s equipment and bring him back down.
Lacourse says he won’t try a climb like that again.
