A dramatic rescue operation was launched in Oberperfuss on Sunday evening after hikers reported hearing screams and a loud bang in the mountains. Police feared an accident, but the cause turned out to be far less serious: a German hiker had dropped his expensive DSLR camera and shouted in frustration.At around 7:10 p.m., police were alerted that several people near the Roßkogel had heard loud cries that sounded like a call for help. A police helicopter was dispatched for an initial search but found nothing. Witnesses near the Krimpenbachalm told officers they had clearly heard both the screams and a dull thud.Later, a moving light was spotted on the mountainside, apparently from someone descending. By 9:00 p.m., officers made contact with a 58-year-old German hiker. He explained that while photographing the sunset, he had dropped his high-end camera, which was badly damaged. As he tried to recover it, he shouted loudly in frustration. He noticed the helicopter circling but did not realize it was searching for him.The man was uninjured and was able to hike down on his own to his car, parked at the Inzinger Alm.The operation involved the police helicopter Libelle Tirol as well as patrols from the Fulpmes and Kematen stations, including alpine officers. According to police, the damaged camera was valued in the low five-figure range.---------------------Alps-bros, how do we get rid of German tourists on our mountains? You'd think training our cattle to attack and kill them would've been enough deterrence.
>make a noise>search and rescue deployedeurope is so fucking gay lol you faggots are patheticIt is not even possible to get lost in Europe, the park was probably 20 square miles because Europeans are satanists who destroyed all of their nature.
>>2840627>It is not even possible to get lost in EuropeTourists get lost all the time on clear summer days, walking in a straight line, with distinctive geographical features all around. And in eastern Europe you can still get genuinely lost in the endless forests there.
>>2840627>It is not even possible to get lost in EuropeYou'd think so, but I've had to take part in search-and-rescue twice already. Both times were american tourists from Ramstein, with one of them unironically getting lost by going down into a depression right next to a parking spot. her friend had a broken leg, they went back to the car, car "wouldn't start" - turned out she tried to start it in gear without pressing the clutch. she went to get help and thought she'd be quicker going in a straight line instead of following the trail - was to fat to get back up the hillside, to retarded to use her phone (that place has great reception, since it's literally 200m from the nearest village) and just walked in circles trying to find a place to climb back up. Two days alter, a hiker found her friend, who'd shat herself inside the car, the cops mobilized every hunter in the area, we started searching (and would've skipped the immediate surroundings of the parking lot if not for the dogs kek).I guess if you're fom a place like the US, where the "forests" are so sparse that you can see the horizon all the time, a proper forest can be confusing...
>>2840637is this bait
>>2840637Don't make us call search and rescue for this post anonIt could be interpreted as a noise and therefore as a effete European crying and in desperate need of rescue

>>2840632>in eastern Europe you can still get genuinely lost in the endless forests there.I can see that. But dying on a simple 100°F walk on flat and level is a little inexcusable. https://www.cnn.com/2015/08/10/us/new-mexico-french-deaths
>>2840662Jesus Christ! I doubt that's typical....I hope.
>>2840627People get lost or stuck on mountains DAILY, bro. Sometimes even experienced mountain hikers. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
>>2840679Grim, poor child.
>>2840614>Worry warts send SAR on a wild goose chase over a single shout of frustration and a 'dull thud'>No one thought to go and look for the source of the noise or try and contact the person who shouted.>This is somehow the photographers fault.
>>2840787Rescue services have to deploy all the time to pick up German tourists in distress on our mountains. Of course a dull thud followed by screaming will trigger a search.This is the First World.
>>2840632you can walk in a straight line anywhere in europe and end up in a megacityeuropeans are fucking pussies who dont deserve to inhabit the same planet as me
>>2840791>t.
>>2840806I dont know what point you think youre making here but you aren't succeeding
>>2840806>pictured: More /out/ than 90% of Europe combined
Why are people complaining that euros are able to mount a rescue operation for every shout in the mountains.
>>2840927Brain damage
Do Americans have to tip the search and rescue team if they get rescued by them?
>>2841066they have to pay a fine so... yes
>>2840638Nah, not bait. Can't find the media reports fom back then (apparently, a few years earlier, a swiss tourist's corpse was found a few hundred m further, and google gives me hundreds of results on that instead), but the situation actually happened in Germany, near the village of St. Martin.>>2840643Yeah, I never found out how they got into the woods in the first place. Probably, the woman who broke her legs was driving?
