Rope Rescue Snatches Man From Under Washington's High Steel Bridge
A dramatic video shows rescuers rappelling down the embankment beneath the High Steel Bridge in Mason County, Washington, to pull a man who had fallen to the bottom of a steep, slick canyon. The man was retrieved and hoisted to safety by multiple rescue teams; he was uninjured. The area remains closed under a federal safety order until November to prevent dangerous rescues, with officials warning that the terrain is steep, slippery and unforgiving.
