"Dramatic video from the Minnesota Air Rescue Team shows a nighttime helicopter mission that extracted a pair of paddlers from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). Rescuers navigated darkness, rain and dense tree cover to reach the pair, who had lost their boat and lacked the gear needed to make it through the night."
"The canoeists had been paddling near Morris Falls on the eastern side of the BWCA when their boat capsized in a rapid on May 14. While they were able to swim to land, they became separated from their canoe, leaving them soaked and stranded. As sunset approached, the paddlers were able to get enough cell service to contact 911."
