Rameses the Great Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Oklahoma City news helicopter pilot Mason Dunn and Greg Ward, a news operations manager for KWTV NEWS 9, used the station's helicopter, SkyNEWS9, Wednesday for something other than chasing a criminal or filming a fire Wednesday, 17 January 2007. This time, they used its noise and its rotor wash to rescue a deer stuck on ice at Lake Thunderbird. Something had to be used to scare the deer to get it to shore. The only other possibility the Oklahoma Highway Patrol could come up with was to send a remote-controlled car onto the ice to try to scare the animal. Dunn lowered the helicopter, initially sending the deer into a break in the ice. The deer struggled enough to get its front hooves back on the ice. A second pass sent the deer sliding across the ice toward shore. Edited January 19, 2007 by Rameses the Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecimusCaesar Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I never seen an animal being rescued with rotor blades before. That's definately a first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
