## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON 7/12/2020 AT APPROX. 2147 HRS. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE CONDUCTING A LIFE SAFETY MISSION TO PROVIDE AERIAL VISUAL AND THERMAL SUPPORT TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS FOR 2 INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD CAPSIZED ON THE CAPE FEAR RIVER AND WERE STUCK IN THE RAPIDS HOLDING ON.  THE SUBJECTS WERE IN A CANOE WITH NO LIFE JACKETS NOR PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND WERE SUBMERGED WITH THEIR LOWER BODY IN THE WATER HOLDING ONTO A TREE.  WATERCRAFT ACCESS WAS DIFFICULT DUE TO CURRENT RIVER HEIGHT AND ROCKY CONDITIONS IN THE RAPIDS.  UNKNOWN EXACT LOCATION OF THE SUBJECTS DUE TO THE PANICKING OF VICTIMS WHO WERE PUBLIC SERVICE WITH THE 911 COMMUNICATIONS CENTER.  THE DJI MAVIC 2 ENTERPRISE DUAL PERFORMED A LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY AND RESULTED IN A FLYAWAY WITH US NOT BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY FINAL OUTCOME.  NO INJURIES, PROPERTY DAMAGES OR AIRCRAFT COLLISIONS WERE REPORTED.  FAYETTEVILLE ATC WAS CONTACTED AND BRIEFED ON THE SITUATION; FAYETTEVILLE ATC ADVISED THE AIRSPACE WAS CLEAR UNTIL THE MORNING

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
