Four people saved vs perished.
Feel free to ignore it.
Probably not a great example given exactly what caused the emergency in the first place though.

Years ago as a very low time PPL(H) I was ferrying piston ag ships between job sites to build hours, a fair amount was at night & to/from unlit field sites in rural areas. Being restricted category ag ships a couple didn't even have a compass. But I also had a healthy sense of self-preservation, plus several years of helicopter background as a military enlisted crewmember. Common sense & understanding your limitations goes a long ways.
