the rescue of the spoilt brats


My school is filled with rich kids, spoilt brats that like to rebel every now and then and break the law. Snowboarding, and skiing daily is a part of the winter term at my school, and yesterday was a day these 3 kids will never forget. They decided to go (off piste) on a black slope, which is the most difficult. 30 minutes late for check-in with their teacher, they call him crying for help. the evening was planned like so, (ski, dinner, prize giving for races last week, night ski). They got lost at the first block, around 4 pm, and were found through a chopper rescue at 9. Can you imagine how scared these 15 year olds were :P? well, they are all alive and well, but will be punished severely because going off slope is a serious offense to the school rules. I shared this with you because i shot a video of the chopper landing 15 meters away from us after they had been found, very dramatic, yes. People were clapping and cheering though, my hat goes of to the rescue workers who did this in very little visibility because of the fog, during the night. 
funny thing however, chopper rescues start at 10,000 francs= 2,500Kd 
Update: the bill will be 21,000 CHF distributed equally amongst the three students. thats around 1,765 Kd per student ... damn
