Bra helps in rescue of Springs hiker stranded in Alps

OK, first of all, the bra had to come from somewhere.  how do we know it wasn't the
thought of a semi-naked girly in the area that didn't send the rescuers scrambling?  :-)

but would a man have been doomed in this same situation? :???:

Bra helps in rescue of Springs hiker stranded in Alps

Stuck, lost and hobbled in the German Alps, a quick-thinking Colorado Springs woman hooked her bra to a mountainside supply line, which alerted rescuers to her whereabouts just as they were giving up the search.

"We're going to have a party for her every June 19, and give her some new bras," Elana Bruinsma, said Monday morning of her sister, Jessica Bruinsma, 24.

The white sports bra has become the talk of the Berchtesgaden area of Germany near the Austria border.

"It certainly beats sending up a flare," one rescue worker told ananova.com, a British Web site.

A worker on the timber cable in the region alerted police when he found Bruinsma's bra hooked to the cable.

The incident inspired bloggers and wags, one of whom wrote to Backpacker, "Maybe we should consider adding Victoria's Secret to the Ten Essentials" - the list of 10 things all hikers should carry.

"Lt. Crandall to the torpedo room" immediatly!

I forget the name of the movie, but it had Toni Curtis and Cary Grant and the really very incorrect remark that "the Japanese have nothing like this"

Good thinking on her part.   Panties might have got more attention.
