Default Grandmother Goes Down at the Pole

http://www.falklandnews.com/public/s...2549&source=12
"Following the reception of a distress call early this morning, a
massive search for 63 year-old Jenny Murray and her co-pilot, Colin
Bodil began and culminated in their successful rescue.

It was thought that the pair, who were attempting to be the first
people to fly around the world from pole to pole had ditched in the
icy waters south of the Falkland Islands. Though Mrs. Murray
sustained a broken arm and her co-pilot suffered chest injuries, they
erected a tent in -40C temperatures.

The 63 year old Grandmother and her co-pilot will be flown to Punta
Arenas in Chile for Medical treatment."

"Helicopter pilot Jennifer Murray, 63, suffered a broken arm, while
co-pilot Colin Bodill, 53, has chest injuries, information sent from
the US Antarctic base of Patriot Hill says, which organised the
rescue".

Hmmm - sic 'em boys.
