Man fall into Mt. St Helen's crater; Can't get out. - Polidicks

[quote] [B]MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. — A climber has fallen into the crater at Mount St. Helens and a rescue is under way.[/B] The Skamania County sheriff's says it received a 911 cell phone call for help about 1 p.m. Monday. Undersheriff Dave Cox says a helicopter that does contract work for the U.S. Geological Survey spotted the climber on a steep slope near the bottom of the crater but was unable to pick him up because of high winds and whiteout conditions. Cox says a Coast Guard rescue helicopter has been called but it's uncertain if the climber can be rescued before dark. A ground rescue team is being organized. The sheriff's office says the climber's condition is unknown but he's blowing a rescue whistle.[/quote][URL="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,586041,00.html"]Source[/URL] Give it a few decades. He'll come out just fine. [B]Yeah, I know. I forgot to put an "s" after "fall."[/B]

A ground rescue team is being organized. He'll get out soon enough.

Slow news day?

From what I understand, the volcano is still active and the magma is still raising (albeit slowly). I must have fallen through a glacier hole and landed in a cave. Amazing that there was cell phone coverage.

He probably has Verizon.

So he can't get out? Shows how good a climber he is... :colbert:

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;20241735]So he can't get out? Shows how good a climber he is... :colbert:[/QUOTE] possible broken limbs?

[QUOTE=haloguy234;20241654]He probably has Verizon.[/QUOTE] Verizon will probably add this event to their commercial.

I've seen crater things happen before.

Wouldn't it suck if him falling in set it off?

You have to be a complete dumbass to be able to fall into a crator. Omg.

Perfect time for St. Helens to erupt again. That would suck for him :v:

[QUOTE=Otsegolation;20262544]"Oh shit, he might be hurt, maybe we shou- oh wait, it's ok, he has a rescue whistle"[/QUOTE] Well he's dead now. They failed to do their job.

smart man i want to be like him when i grow up

I wonder what he died from.

He cratered himself.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;20262839]I wonder what he died from.[/QUOTE] He fell 1,500 feet so probably from the impact.

[QUOTE=JDK721;20262902]He fell 1,500 feet so probably from the impact.[/QUOTE] Unless he had a heart attack on the way down before impact.

[QUOTE=Kidd;20263058]Unless he had a heart attack on the way down before impact.[/QUOTE] So the ground gave way, he fell 1500ft and had a heart attack on the way down which killed him, THEN proceeded to spend hours blowing a whistle trying to get rescued? Sweet zombie mountain climbers batman!
