Don't you just love it when a no-notice, emergency, life-or-death,
time-is-of-the-essence plan comes together in the back of beyond? ;-).
I have read it before, Chuck, but it is heart-warming nonetheless.
Definitely a "Higher Plan"...

I wish you'd tell more. Not all of us believe that it was star

So here's the short form. After striking the wires which ripped off the
rotors which in turn ripped off the tail rotor the helicopter fell 205
feet into the trees. Fortunately it went in backwards and the tail
crumpling and seat collapsing absorbed much of the impact. Had there
been anyone in the back seat they surely would have been killed. The
forest ranger suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and slightly punctured
lung. My son's major injury was a cut across the back of the head
extending from ear to ear and leaving his scalp mostly torn away and
bleeding profusely.
