Spectacular Rescue Operation: A highly spectacular rescue operation took place in these days near Brug in the canton of Wallis in Switzerland. A car had an accident and felt in the torrent water of the Rhone. The helicopter of the "Air Zermantt"and the Swiss Air Rescue arrived only 20 minutes after the accident on the place and liberated the passengers of the car from their dangerous and outmost uncomfortable situation. Photo shows the driver of the car looks out for the helicopter. The car had before made a fall of about 25 feet. The helicopter first rescued the driver, then his wife, while men on the bank hold the car with cords-to prevent it to be driven away by the water.
