Local, " Drunk " Story Seattle News

[GeorgeS]

Not on motorcycle, but on a Raft. We have lots of Rivers in Western Washington State, and summer River Rafting is a popular sport in this neck of the woods.

 

OK, 4 of July Yesterday, River Rafters are out in force . A few of them are Drunk Drivers !!!! ( not to surpriseing )

 

Anyway, just heard on news, This Drunk, falls off his Raft-- he is carried down river by the current, his fellow rafters ( not sure if they were drunk ) call the Sheriff dept. on Cell phone, Sheriff sends out Helicopter-- chopper uses Infered heat senceing cameras, flying down the river, thru a heavly wooded ares, and spots the " Hot Spot " Clinging to a large rock in the river --

 

Choppers drops the Rescue guy on cable ( just like you saw in New Orleans on TV ) and the Deputy Sheriff, saves the guy, and then back packs him out to an ambulance about 2 miles thru the woods !!!

 

Is there a morel to this story?? can it be applied to motorcycling ??? Not sure, but anyway, I had a good laugh watching the news this morning. !! :hihi::hihi:

"Bike came to rest 704 feet"

Ya think SPEED might have somehow entered into the equation?
