Homeless Man Rescued After Three Days Stuck on Mountainside Ledge 100' Over River

This video shows the incredible rescue of a homeless man who had survived three days and two nights stuck on a mountain ledge in Washington. The man told rescuers he'd sought refuge underneath a lookout platform when he slid down the mountainside to the edge of a cliff. He managed to arrest his fall, but when he stopped tumbling the man was precariously perched on a mountainside ledge, mere inches from a 100' drop straight to certain death in the White River.

Army Corps of Engineers workers who operate the dam reported that on a Tuesday they thought they heard someone calling for help, but they couldn't find anyone and all the cars had left the park so no search was started. It was a full two days later that workers once again heard a call for help. This time it was decided to call in a mountain search and rescue team, and the groundwork was quickly laid for a helicopter hoist rescue. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he was evaluated and released in satisfactory condition.

Journalism’s landscape has radically changed in recent years. In late-2018 social media surpassed newspapers as a news source for U.S. adults, and a Pew Research Center survey released in early October found that more than half of U.S. adults get news from social media. Real World Police’s reach far exceeds that of the Boston Globe and our average daily viewership is greater than the circulation of The New York Times. Join us today!
