Bra saved her life
June 21, 2008 - 1:58 pm
Jessica Brown, a 24 year old American hiker had fallen off a ledge in the Austrian Alps and was stranded injured for 70 hours in freezing temperatures.
Mountain rescue looked at the wrong place and gave up the search because they believed she had fallen to her death.
But Jessica spotted a cable car on its way up the mountain in Salzburg and quickly flung her bra into a container carrying food as it passed her. Lucky for her, workers higher up the peak realized that the bra must have been thrown in as a message and sent out a search party.
She was found and rescued. She is now recovering in hospital.

Hmm, if i had seen a piece of trash with a bra stuffed in it when the car arrived, I’m not so sure i would have interpretted it as a rescue call. Good thinking on her part though I guess.

Always keep abreast of events; or, in this case, vice versa. I have an amusing story about drying my underpants in a four-star hotel in Marakesh using the cieling fan but perhaps I ought to stick to respectable information involving trouser-presses and haddock best regards.
