Once again some French people need rescuing… This time, two French tourists were skiing in the Swiss Alps when they got lost. They had tried to make a phone call but the phone ran out of juice right as they connected. Temperatures in those mountains could go as low as -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit). Fortunately, one of the tourists brought along an iPod and was able to signal the rescue helicopter with the light from the MP3 player. Both were rescued without any serious injuries. Unfortunately that’s all the details released but hopefully next time the duo will bring along a flare gun or flash light to avoid a similar situation.
