Stuck, lost and hobbled in the German Alps, a quick-thinking Colorado Springs woman hooked her bra to a mountainside supply line, which alerted rescuers to her whereabouts just as they were giving up the search.
"We're going to have a party for her every June 19, and give her some new bras," Elana Bruinsma, said Monday morning of her sister, Jessica Bruinsma, 24.

Does this mean if we see a bra hanging out on someone's clothesline, there's a damsel in distress inside the house? To the rescue, boys!
A funny comment from the RMNS.

Now someone needs to go and rescue all of these women.

She could also use them to sling shot tiny rocks at the rescue planes.

After reading this, I thought of the scene in operation petticoat where the submariners sent the nurses bras to the surface, to prove they were Americans.
But what is a supply cable?
