Alaska hiker rescued from under 700lb boulder in frigid creek

Beschreibung:

A hiker in Alaska, Kell Morris, miraculously survived after being pinned face‑down in a glacier‑fed creek for three hours by a 700‑pound boulder. While hiking with his wife near Godwin Glacier outside Anchorage, a rock slide trapped him in icy water. His wife, Jo Roop, a police officer, kept his head above water and called for help with precise GPS coordinates. Rescuers, using inflatable airbags and a helicopter, freed him just as rising water levels threatened his life, the BBC has reported. Morris suffered only bruises and hypothermia and has since fully recovered.
