I hope people will learn from this tragic ending for the father. There was so many mistakes made. Just a little bit of knowledge and equipment. It is just so sad.
I never heard anything about that one. I think maybe power of the internet and networking. On my space I found out about a soldier missing(just back from Iraq) when the national news never had anything about it. The story was spread through my space and on lj.
Yeah. This guy had a whole bunch of friends who knew how to mobilize the media to aid the search for him. I'm guessing that the mother and son in Montana hadn't had someone hire their own helicopter and poke the media 'til locals with their own aircraft were participating in the search.
