Following the reception of a distress call early this morning, a massive search for 63 year-old Jenny Murray and her co-pilot, Colin Bodil began and culminated in their successful rescue.
It was thought that the pair, who were attempting to be the first people to fly around the world from pole to pole had ditched in the icy waters south of the Falkland Islands. Though Mrs. Murray sustained a broken arm and her co-pilot suffered chest injuries, they erected a tent in –40C temperatures.
The 63 year old Grandmother and her co-pilot will be flown to Punta Arenas in Chile for Medical treatment
Because she's an idiot my dear.
I expect she will have much fun re-telling this tale in years to come.
