A bus carrying travelers from Denmark to Austria skidded off a road in northern Germany and flipped over on Friday, injuring more than 20 people including one seriously.
"I'm beyond grateful for the incredible NCHART and Linville-Central Rescue teams, who got to them in the middle of nowhere and saved his life! He was air-lifted to and treated at Johnson City Medical Center, TN, and is now recovering at home," his father, Imran Shah, said in a Facebook post.
"The city had purchased a supply of firefighting equipment including shovels, rakes, and electric lanterns, to prepare for the upcoming wildfire season, as reported in June 1925."
At the time, waves were reaching 8 feet, the El Dorado County sheriff's office said. Witnesses told emergency responders that sudden north winds in the late afternoon whipped up the waves, creating 8- to 10-foot troughs.
