Rescue
In 1989, I was on top
of Banff and witnessed a dramatic rescue. A woman had broken her leg
in a fall. When I arrived on the scene, the helicopter was about to
land. It was a difficult but safe landing for the pilot who had to be
extremely careful of guide wires from a communications tower.

Rescue
workers lifted the woman onto a stretcher. The pain must have been
terrific.
After
getting the injured woman into the helicopter, the pilot had to very
carefully lift off the platform. Rescue workers moved out of the way,
just to be safe.
Once
clear of the wires, the pilot headed though the valley to the nearest
hospital.
