– Demanding
The extent of the damage to the woman is still unknown, he writes Aftonbladet. According to the leader of the task force that saved the woman, she has been lucky.
– She’s been lucky. There was some snow at the bottom of the hole that she may have landed on and that may have dampened the fall, but it is still a very high altitude. It does not usually go so well when you fall from 20 meters, Johansson says Aftonbladet.
The rescue service was in place just minutes after the alarm went off. Two of the rescuers were first hoisted down by helicopter. They saw quickly that it would be difficult to get the woman up because the hole was 5-10 meters in diameter and 25 meters deep, according to the Swedish Maritime Administration’s Maritime and Air Rescue Centers Facebook-side.
– The effort was demanding for our crew because the mining hole was deep, dark and surrounded by tall trees, they wrote.
