Photos from HZS server - Mountain rescue service.







This rescuer was killed, on the photo made just few hours before accident, he is carrying wounded hiker.


As a side note - the pilot (24 years of service) was the only survivor of a fatal accident in 2008 when the first pilot and navigator died in a helicopter crash in Brusno, Slovakia. He returned to service and died yesterday in an attempt to rescue 10 years old boy from a deep gorge. Helicopter struck electric cables hanging over the mountain valley.

RIP my friends.
