    Scoop: Sergey Brin has a secret disaster relief force that has been responding to hurricanes, volcanoes & wildfires. Global Support and Development, run by Brin’s old bodyguards, uses superyachts and ex-special forces to get to disasters in record time. https://www.thedailybeast.com/google-co-founder-sergey-brin-has-a-secret-disaster-relief-squad?ref=home …pic.twitter.com/g9IBDezHzV

        GSD was quietly founded by Brin, who has sole power to appoint its board of directors – including two of his former bodyguards. In 2018, the Google co-founder provided all of its funding. His name has not been previously linked to the 501c3 non-profit. https://gsd.ngo/ pic.twitter.com/OqtTczccWP

        GSD is closely linked to LTA Research, a start-up founded by Brin that is building the world’s largest airship to deploy aid and personnel rapidly to disaster areas. LTA test flew an unmarked airship over Silicon Valley in January... https://www.ltaresearch.com/ pic.twitter.com/0tAfYudWLb

        LTA's electric airship will use hydrogen – not as a lifting gas but for fuel instead of carrying heavy batteries. Its first airship, Pathfinder 1, can carry 14 people - and import records suggest that is is likely based on a Zeppelin NT.pic.twitter.com/J2sHXgoZIO

        A smaller prototype has already been certified by the FAA and has undergone test flights in Akron Ohio, where LTA hopes to soon lease the world's largest airship hangar (recently used by Lockheed Martin for military airship development).

        Anyway, I really recommend you take a read of the GSD story, my first for @thedailybeast - it's got superyachts, Navy SEALs, strawberry ice cream, and more!https://www.thedailybeast.com/google-co-founder-sergey-brin-has-a-secret-disaster-relief-squad?ref=home …

        Great story. I reached out to GSD immediately after reading it. It's rare that I ever want to work for anyone but this qualifies without a doubt.
