Alaska - A Belarusian woman was swept away and died while trying to cross a fast-moving river in Alaska in search of an abandoned bus made famous by the book and movie "Into The Wild."
A rope extended across the river is meant to help hikers get from one side to other, but the water was rapid and waist-high, Ken Marsh, a spokesman for the Alaska State Troopers told Reuters. The segment the couple tried to cross was high because of recent rainfall, the Anchorage Daily News reported.About 75 to 100 feet downriver, Markielau was able to pull the body of his wife, whom he had been married to for less than a month, from the river, according to Alaska authorities.
Local sentiments about McCandless and the pilgrims vary. Some feel quite negatively toward him, that he approached a journey in an unforgiving area of Alaska and was not prepared for its hardships. Others have more of an understanding for him."Alaska commits to rescuing people in their wilderness but they get frustrated when people are careless or unprepared," Holland said.
