From the Alaska State Troopers:
Location: Klawock Post
Type: Search and rescue
On 7/20/10 at 0009 hours, Alaska State Troopers received a report from the plant manager of Silver Bay Seafoods that nine employees had not returned from a hike up Sunnahae Mountain in Craig. A large group of hikers had started up the Sunnahae trail, but the group split at approximately 2,000 feet. One group headed back down the mountain and the second group headed towards the helicopter landing pad at the top of the mountain. The second group consisted of nine hikers identified as Robert Mensch from Ghana; Rustum Sharpov, 20, from Russia; Azamat Aipov, 23, from Kazakhstan; Milosz Szezpanak, 20, from Poland; and Mykailo Kustuzov, 21, Zadym Markov, 19, Andrii Smoliazov, 20, Mykola Butov, 20, and Artur Mylmek, 20, all from Ukraine. This second group of hikers decided to stay on the mountain due to the failing light and wait until morning. At 0726 hours all hikers were located and brought safely down the mountain with no injuries to report.

Anyone else notice that probably none of these workers are from the US?
ReplyDeleteSo much for Silver Bay Seafoods creating local jobs with their processing operations.
