An urgent call for help - RESCUED !!!!

I can't help, sorry, but one more place to reach out may be https://www.reddit.com/r/rbi

That's horrible. I really hope his injury isn't severe and ya'll can get the help you need to rescue him.

gl with this, can't help but wish you and your family all the strenght in the world

Please contact Mrs Sushma Swaraj , minister of external affairs via twitter. She is known for her prompt action and helpful nature. Also involve the Spanish embassy at your level to step up the SAR efforts. Praying for the best outcome.

Did he had insurance? The company would normally be the main asset in the search, also for getting proper contact or up to date info.

Idn about india, but from what ive heard of other countries (and what generally occurs in mine) is that the military is most probably already involved in some level - i bet their helicopter is from the military. The question isn't their involvment, but their willingness (and or resources) to send in more helicopters in short notice (as in moving assets and paperwork in a non predicted manner). Chances are they're already moving towards that in some fashion, but from lack of infraestructure to other logistical problens (where are the closest helicopters, pilots at disposal, etc) and even the weather can be getting in the way.

The proper/default protocols mostly used avoid putting rescuers and others at abnormal risk- if theres a good chance the helicopter could get damaged (and thus everyone dying) or even if the weather is just too bad to see anything from above then the usual is to wait for a better window of opportunity.

Considering how in that area its normal for insurance companies to cover most of rescues im sure theres one or more that can be found online- the prices will probably be way more expensive then the typical insurance cover, but if doable i doubt they wouldn't accept being hired for doing so. Even if he already have insurance, that could be a way to send in more help (numbers wise).

But its good to keep in mind that numbers generally doesn't mean much in these cases. More people and assets for searches can be helpful the bigger the area to cover is, the smaller is the range of search more and more assets/people have dimmishing returns (heck, too many people can even get in the way- 2 helicopters flying the same area would take longer just to avoid each other). From that article Its a paragliding area with a number of similar cases (and rescued pilots)- its safe to assume the people searching for him know what they are doing. The huge number of scenarios that could have happened is what makes thing difficult- the best team in the world wouldn't find a difficult target in a unlikely place much faster then a smaller or less experienced one- this isn't so much about skill or money or number of people but a matter of the many variables and natural obstacles involved.

Also he could simply be fruther away then predicted- if hes capable and willing to walk he could have wandered in any direction, who knows at what speed- if he keeps a straight line a hell of a lot of ground can be covered each day. Any and all rescue attempts need to start in the smallest area possible, close to where he most likely fell, not only to increase chances but because of priorities- if he needs medical attention or is stuck its much better the rescuers searching a small area doing more then one sweep then quickly moving on further away. Depending on the place (i bet its a forest nearby) he could also get lost and whatnot- there are good chances hes in a outer ring of the range they're searching (as much as of him being covered by too dense vegetation- where ground searchers have way more chances of finding him then any number of helicopters).

I know its hard but keep your hopes up. Most cases require patience. Keep trying to get in touch and better help, but don't blame then or yourself for not doing better or faster- these things are hard in every scenario. Hope him and you the best

Thanks a lot Vincer for your very valuable reply.

Yes, he is insured. I'm not 100% aware of every detail and I don't want to blame anybody.
You are fully right regarding the weather and how a party can be assembled...
Somewhat, we feel that more could be done, more resources added

I really wish to thank everybody their kind words at this moment.

I hope he gets help as soon as possible. I'll pray for his rescue.

I wish your brother the best of luck!

Insiste en hablar con la embajada española, a ver si hay suerte. Y amenaza con hablar con los medios de comunicación. Espero que localicen pronto a tu hermano.

At that altitude, weather is vital to rescue efforts. Changes in humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure determine whether a helicopter can even get off the ground. You have prayers from the other side of the world.

I wish there was something I could do to help, but all I can do is send good vibes your way (and his way as well). My fingers are crossed for a successful rescue to happen soon!

Glad this turned out fine, at least for now. Waiting for more news.

Oh heavens, thank God this took a turn for the good. Please let us know if all goes well.

Glad he is found, hug him when he is back. :) <3

Great news for what must have been a gut-wrenching ordeal! :)

Glad this turned out well in the end.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it all eventually ends well and he will return safe and sound.

So glad for the positive turn of events!
Hope you hear from him soon and he recovers swiftly.
Best of all to you and your family.

Me alegra que todo saliera bien. Enhorabuena.

Great news. Fingers still crossed for absolute rescue completion. Do update ASAP.

That's great. Sorry for those bad times you all went through, but glad ended and he will be fine soon.

Told ya. Really happy it all turned out well \o/

I am happy for you buddy that everything worked out well finally. May your brother return home safely to you guys at the earliest!

Good to read there is a happy end!
