Missing Georgia Tech student Jimmy Hubert was found injured but alive thanks to iPhone’s Find My App software. The 24-year old aerospace engineering student and Phi Delta Theta fraternity brother went missing on Friday and was not found until the following Monday morning laying face-down and severely beaten along railroad tracks in Atlanta.
According to police, it looks like he was attacked, mugged and left for dead. "He's in ICU with broken vertebrae, broken ribs, broken scapula, punctured lung, blood on the brain, paralyzed left side (Hopefully temporary). He's in a lot of pain and on morphine resting,” said his mother Diane Hubert from the hospital.
A friend who found him, told NBC affiliate WXIA that Hubert’s date had left her phone in Hubert's pocket which help them to locate the missing student—via the Find My iPhone app—nearly seven miles away from the party along the train tracks.
According to the report, neither Hubert’s or his date’s phone were found on his person, but the Find My iPhone app placed them several hundred yards away from where they discovered him.
While this event is horrifying, it could have ended up much worse. Thanks to the Find My iPhone App, friends were able to find Jimmy and get him the help he needed. But not everyone has an iPhone. Nor an app that works like Hubert’s date’s.
Our world is a dangerous place and people go missing all the time. Technology is helping to make it easier to find them, but what can someone do if they go missing along with their phone and nobody knows how to find them?
