West Point and the Highland Falls
West Point and the Highland Falls
Tying themselves to a large branch that jutted from the mountain, the two cadets used their [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cellphones to place emergency calls. While they did not know their precise location, rescuers were able “to ping their cellphone and get a grid coordinate,” Captain Coan said.
Rescue crews from West Point and the Highland Falls and Cornwall Fire Departments rushed to the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] mountain about 6:30 p.m. but could not reach the ledge, the academy spokeswoman, Theresa Brinkerhoff, said in a statement. A State Police helicopter spotted the cadets later but lacked the necessary equipment to lower someone to pick them up, Captain Coan said.
The New York Police Department received a call for assistance just after midnight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and after discussing wind [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and flight conditions, Officer Browning, two other crew members and two medics left Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and flew the roughly 40 miles to Storm King in a Bell 412 helicopter.
