Woman accidentally joins search party looking for herself
Toronto Sun
reports that a tourist group traveling by bus to the volcanic Eldgja
canyon made a pit stop near the canyon park. The woman in question went
inside to freshen up and change her clothes at the rest stop, and when
she came back “her busmates didn’t recognize her.”
Word spread
among the group of a missing passenger, and the woman didn’t recognize
the description of herself. Next thing you know, a 50-person search
party was canvassing the area, and the coast guard was mobilizing to
deploy a search party of its own.
About 3am, some genius in the
group finally figured out that the missing woman was actually in the
search party, albeit in different clothes, and the search was called
off.
No word on what kind of wardrobe was involved in this woman’s
“freshening up.” But her sense of self-image must be way out of whack
to join a search party until 3am without even suspecting for a minute
that the woman in the description bore some resemblance to herself.
