GA Tech Students Use Cell Phone Pings To Find Missing Person (ajc.com)
McGruber writes: Georgia Authorities are giving kudos to technology – and the perseverance of Georgia Tech students – for the safe return of a fellow student who disappeared after a Friday night party. The missing student was found Monday morning along railroad tracks, in northeast Atlanta. He had been beaten, was unconscious and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. Georgia Tech Police Chief Robert Connolly said "The students rallied together and then they started searching. The students stayed out until midnight last night, putting out pamphlets and combing the area, anywhere they could possibly find [cell phone] pings along the route." The students "were not going to stop. They checked every hospital, every hotel, they checked everywhere. They didn't give up on their friend."
Search And Rescue teams should carry "Stingray" mobile cell towers with them to locate missing persons in the wilderness. Any phone in range would try to connect with them.
Or is it post the fucking article?
With an iPhone is battery would have been long dead over 2 days...
Too bad the Georgia Authorities couldn't rally together, start searching and persevere until the student was found.
They are such lazy morons. They truly are the Republican's thugs in blue. They hate us and want us to die.
1995-1999 - It has a LOT of very, Very, VERY "rough spots" in it (though it's nice where I actually lived, not too far from Newt Gingrich in fact) - big drug scene & w/ that comes the crime.
* He really IS lucky to be alive.

P.S.=> Hat's off to the GA Tech kids doing that & finding him though - they did a GREAT job using modern tech they had available to them no less... apk
And how does it reveal your location?
Does this mean some kind of peer-to-peer WiFi or Bluetooth? I don't understand.
If it's cellular, then the phone is either reachable or it isn't, that doesn't change based upon how near you are to the other phone.
Are they saying they just used a built-in location service to find it?

White people taking care of white victims of the black scourge.
That is mighty white of them. They did the white thing.
How do you ping a phone? Was it through some app, or at the network layer?
At least according to the posts on Mom's Facebook page that are linked from the AJC article.
Very little mention of the other students that actually did the work.
Really lady?
If your God was so fucking awesome, why did he let this guy get beat within an inch of his life and left to die?
And with this submission, we start a new chapter in the history of /.
Reading the article has long been optional and even disparaged, but now not reading the article is made mandatory by not even linking it in the first place, saving the precious feels of those who might have been the least bit guilty about rushing in to post without a clue.
How is the Riemann zeta function like Trump rallies? Both have an endless number of trivial zeros.
They keep idiots looking down at idiot phones instead of look up to see we're being sprayed with nano chip chemtrails. They want dupes attached to bogus 'tech' that's actually a slavery and suicide tool. Now masses of idiots nano chipped and wired 'morgellons' fiber optics, you're a cell phone. ipv6 mind rape 'internet of things'. They use the 'protect da children' 'missing person' all the fake 'weak people' memes to keep idiots walking into planned slavery and slaughter. Know who owns you.

Most scum in media are not nordic white they are white skin ashkenazi jew. 'dave ramssee' fake christian act, medved, noory, the 'sports' asses, the jabbering jew females on radio, all keeping dupes in a fake 'normal' until the cull starts. Now the fake jew 'government' has lab virus to kill by race. newworldwar.org/chemical.htm - ignore notes at bottom, skip rest of site.
Chemtrail virus. The nano chips they already implanted are for control of those leftover from the virus. Ignorance, consequence.
Copy to re read, give links to others, put links on notes, hand out to everyone. No is coming to 'save' you. Get off your idiot phone. Make your own tribes. Chemtrail virus.

The actual article, once you freaking find it, has a one liner about "Cellphone records showed he was possibly in the area of DeKalb Avenue a couple of hours later." After that, it was just people walking around searching.
How the hell is this 'cell phone pings'? I was expecting some uber geeky geolocation doodad written in an overnight Cheeto induced haze. (no, not THAT "uber")
What, his phone did the auto check-in thing via some standard 'app'?
Millions of jew trolls on the web distract with bs 'drugs' memes 'nazi' memes 'racist' bs, anything to cover up the jew tribe robbing and mass murder history and plans. The links in the 'tech propagand' post show the facts.
Jews are in extra high drive to distract right now since they sprayed the virus, culls starts any time now. See 'tech propaganda' post above. copy links, postal mail to those you know, put links on notes hand out to others.
I thought all cellphones had GPS?
AJC: Missing Georgia Tech student found alive, but bruised
Not that I disagree with you, but ...
> They've tried it for 15+ years and it's been obvious that the technique didn't work so we need to come up with something new.
If the measure of it working is that people click the link to RTFA ...
There's some significant holes in this story. According to the ajc.com article, he had last been seen 11pm Friday. Friends started looking for him "last night," presumably Sunday based on the article's date of Monday, Oct 19. That means he would have been lying unconscious for up to two days, yet later in the article we read, 'Atlanta police Lt. Charles Hampton described Hubert’s injuries as minor, adding that he was “not sure where those injuries came from.”' Also, what are these pings they're talking about? Pings like when the cops have the phone company tell them which towers his phone is hitting? Were the cops relaying that info to student searchers instead of searching themselves? It sounds like something else: "The students stayed out until midnight last night, putting out pamphlets and combing the area, anywhere they could possibly find [cell phone] pings along the route.” How do civilian student searchers "find pings"? I wish journalism wasn't such a realm of technical illiterates.
...no foul play was suspected.
Ahhh, they probably wrote a VB app to "ping" his phone...I wish we had some video footage showing the size 400 font and single-button UI in action though.
The intention and agenda has not been to just 'play' other races but to obtain trillions in weapons, all of food and other resources, which they have, and exterminate the masses so there are only ashkenazi jews and their 'morgellons' 'transhuman' chinese they have chosen as slaves. Surprise chineez, while the jews have been bashing down 'whites' with their lies they've pumped up bogus asians/chinese for decades to breed idiot arrogance so the chinese dupes don't suspect what is in store for them. The 'morgellons' nano chip implants already in everyone by breathing the nano chip chemtrails. All that's left now is to start the chemtrail virus cull and that is also underway, now. more fact in tech propaganda post above.
Their knowledge is suspicious. They might be planning a terrorist attack. The authorities must do something! Next time they might be stuffing a clock's innards into a pencil case!
See subject - more people would like YOU idiots if you didn't act like immature fools trying to impersonate me...

Hypothermia is not nice. I wonder what his core temp was when they found him.
Assuming no foul play, what can you say?
Ahh youth!
Sounds like a rambling reck that almost carried it too far.
Hopefully lots of good judgement comes from surviving a similar quantity of bad judgement.
Fortunately, with a bit of help from friends, everything turned out ok.
You could ping the phone with some sort of reverse war driving. Since you know the kid, you would know where he lives, and if he has a home wifi setup, which is hopefully not open. All you need to do drive around with a portable setup using the same SSID and password and wait for a device to connect.
God dammit Slashdot!
WTF is up with this clickbait headline and hiding the article?
A mass of people searched and found the guy. There is literally zero tech angle to this and all "pinging" was done by the cellular provider and law enforcement.
See subject: Or to win popularity contests. Got that? Good... Your "approval"? Means ZERO to me.
