An Injured Elderly Hiker Experienced a Nightmarish Helicopter Rescue
A 74-year-old woman in Phoenix was injured while hiking in the mountains. In order to rescue her they needed to bring in a chopper and airlift her out.
They strapped her to a gurney and tow her out of there but turbulence from the helicopters rotors caused her gurney to spin and spin….and spin….and spin!
We don’t know which is worse, the actual injury the woman sustained or the rescue!
WILD HELICOPTER RESCUE: Firefighters say a 74-year-old woman had to be flown off of Piestewa Peak this morning after she suffered an injury while hiking.
