Young children airlifted to safety after spending night lost on B.C. mountain
Published Monday, May 20, 2019 7:02PM EDT
Search and rescue crews had spent the night trying to track the children down, using a drone and helicopter to help.The family had been visiting from the U.S. state of Georgia and, before getting lost, had been planning on going to nearby Munro Lake for some fishing. “[The father] was not that familiar with the terrain … it was not on a trail at all, so any landmarks and signposts were really not there,” he said during a press conference.
But the children -- a seven-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl -- ended up spending a cold night stuck on a plateau terrain, as ground and air crews set out to find them.
