eisely 13 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Scouts Help With Rescue After N.C. Plane Crash Tue Dec 17,11:05 AM ET Add Local - WYFF TheCarolinaChannel.com to My Yahoo! A troop of Greenwood County, S.C., boy scouts on a hike in the North Carolina mountains Saturday morning made an unusual discovery -- the wreckage of a plane that had crashed into some trees. Just before noon, a single-engine aircraft crashed about halfway up the side of Whiteside Mountain, just north of Cashiers in Jackson County, N.C. Members of Troop 66 helped the two people on the plane get down from the wreckage and then call for help on a cell phone. Rescuers took the two men, who were in their early 20s, to Highland-Cashiers Hospital, where they were treated and released. The scouts said that the conditions could have been dangerous had they not arrived to help. "When we got there it was snowing and it was 27 degrees outside," scoutmaster A.P. Neal told WYFF News 4's Erin Hartness. "They were disoriented, so it would have been pretty bad situation if assistance had not arrived." When the scouts arrived, the plane was upside down and the wings were broken, scout Cameron Coffey told News 4. "I just think if we didn't get there pretty soon they might have died," he said.
