USCG Sector North Bend sent a helo inland to assist NP Rangers in rescuing
a man who slid / fell 800 feet into the caldera:

The article states the aircrew heard the man. I find that to be highly improbable
due to the noise an MH-65 makes when spun up.

When I was hiking and rock climbing, I always had an exit strategy.
What is wrong with these fools?
