Spare a thought for this hiker, the victim of a hellish helicopter rescue

It's already bad enough being injured in the middle of a hot, dusty mountain.

So spare a thought or two for this hiker, whose bad day turned even worse when the helicopter basket she was rescued in started spinning uncontrollably.

The 74-year-old woman was airlifted from Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday morning, when the basket at first started to sway, then gradually built up speed as it continued to rotate. The poor woman.
