Three skiiers rescued
NORTH VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980)
12/26/2008
A lucky cell phone call set off a chain of events that saved the lives of three people on Mount Seymour on Christmas Day.
A man and woman visiting Vancouver were buried in an avalanche on Christmas Eve and ended up in a treacherous area. No one knew they had even gone skiing, but they were able to find enough a cell reception to make a single phone call.
Rescuers launched a rescue chopper and found the pair, but had to ski in to retrieve them. North Shore Rescue's Tim Jones says while they were doing that rescuers stumbled upon a third skiier who was lost and hadn't yet been reported missing by his family.
Jones says the rescue has left crews rattled.
"Still reeling from this one. This shows you how the stars line up for peoples' lives and how one of their nine lives was used up tonight."
Believe it or not a security patrol elsewhere on the mountain found a fourth missing person, a snowshoer who'd become lost as well. |
