Balls of steel! Helo pilot pulls off amazing rescue

2430

This is some rescue! Video footage captured the moment a helicopter landed on the steep mountainside to rescue an injured skier. Footage of the dramatic rescue was filmed during a ski touring excursion at the Anterne pass, in the Giffre massif Haute-Savoie region of the Alps in eastern France. The pilot managed to hold the vehicle in place so that the right-hand landing skid remained in contact with the mountainside. This enabled a rescue team to climb out of the aircraft and get to one of the mountaineers, named Bruno, who had injured his knee.
