Hiker Falls 200 Feet After Bee Attack
A hiker who went off a South Mountain trail Monday was attacked by a swarm of bees before falling 200 feet into a ravine, Phoenix firefighters said.

The man, who is in his early 30s, was hiking alone around 5:30 p.m. when he left the trail to hike up a gully and was ambushed by hundreds of bees.

"He was waving his shirt and then he was actually just full of bees," said hiker Ken MacKenzie, who witnessed the incident.

When the hiker tried to escape the bees, he fell.

I wonder how he's doing now? I'd be dead.

1. Yikes! A 'biblical' bad day
"He probably fell about 200 feet off of that trail and down into a ravine.
He was all broken bones and cut up and tangled up in cholla cactus," said
Capt. Lewis Jones of the Phoenix Fire Technical Team.


:scared:

2. Jeez, what happens next?
The LifeStar helicopter crashes why carrying him to the hospital? The elevator cable breaks on the way to the O.R.? Earthquake hits during surgery?


Reminds me of that scene in Hot Shots!...
