Hawaii National Park, Hawai‘i – Park rangers on Tuesday rescued a man who had been stranded overnight after climbing over a barrier and falling 115 feet down a sheer cliff behind Volcano House in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
At approximately 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, a hiker told park rangers at Kīlauea Visitor Center that she heard someone crying for help from the dense vegetation along Halema‘uma‘u Trail, which lies directly below the hotel. Although she thought it was a prank, she reported the cries anyway.
Rangers were able to locate the man, and the park’s Search and Rescue (SAR) Coordinator John Broward was lowered by helicopter and pulled him to safety as the sun began to set. The man was identified as 73-year-old Harry Osachy of Kurtistown. Osachy is Micronesian and speaks little English, but told rescuers that he had fallen on Monday. The exact time is unknown.
Osachy was transported by ambulance to Hilo Medical Center, with injuries to his pelvis and shoulder. He had numerous scrapes and suffered from dehydration.
“Luckily, he landed in a dense thicket of native ‘uluhe fern, which broke his fall,” Broward said.
It is the thirteenth SAR mission at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park this year. Last year, park SAR crews responded to a total of 26 incidents.
“Once again, risky behavior by a visitor endangered the lives of our staff,” said Park Superintendent Cindy Orlando, who was on site during the dramatic rescue. “We were able to execute an exemplary response from our cadre of specially trained first responders, and thankfully no one else was injured,” she said.

That's amazing! Just goes to show you that miracles can happen.
Proof that pure luck exists! There just are some people, like this guy or the one that got struck by lightning 6 times in his life, who are that lucky
He had luck. The officers made a good job!
impressive. I think we are spending so much time on the internet watching cats that we're turning into them
Haha, i;'m sure that for a short while he grew a tail that helped him land on his feet! but really now, that man is lucky
miracles can happen. I'm sure this changed his life. You always look differently on things once you've had such a powerful experience
The rescue team has to act fast and use it wit to save the life of a victim.

Many people will not allow their children to toil hard in their higher education programs and deny them recognition. It will be wrong to do that as a parent. The best thing you can do is to organize for a good graduation ceremony for your child.eyecandyentertainment
