Rescue Pilot Rescued by Rescuees

After a boat rescue failed, on January 9, 2013, a Bell 206 Jet Ranger with only the pilot aboard was rescuing two Nunavut seal hunters, Joe Karetak, who is in his 50s, and his 20-year-old son, who were stranded off the west shore of Hudson Bay. The brutal wind chill was -50 C.

The helicopter was from Customs Helicopter in Gillam Manitoba.

The hunters had left on snow mobiles but hadn’t returned home, initiating the search.

The helicopter landed safely but broke through the ice—it was partially on ice, partially in the water 100 meters from the hunters.

The pilot was rescued by the hunters.

A second helicopter assisting in the original rescue took the hunters and the pilot to Arviat. The rescue was coordinated by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre.
