from the NYDailyNews:
"...The NYPD pulled off a dangerous and dramatic rescue on Sunday, dangling a detective from a helicopter in ferocious winds to rescue two West Point cadets who were freezing to death on a mountain ledge..."
USATODAY story HERE.
Summary: The
two got stuck on a ledge, and called for help from a cellphone. After figuring out where the cellphone call came from, local rescuers arrived but couldn't get them...so finally they had to call for air rescue. By the time they arrived, it was 2 am, and they had to do two rescues to get off the young men.photos from NYDailyNews.
NYPD pilot Steve Browning (top) and ESU Detective Christopher Condon (below) were among the heroes.
apparantly, the NYPD has helicopters 24/7 and the mountain was 60 miles north of the city, so they were called in to help.
