Ill Belarusian tourist cannot be evacuated from taiga because of overweight
Russian rescuers cannot evacuate the Belarusian tourist because of his heavy weight. He felt bad during a trip along Lake Baikal together with a Russian-Ukrainian group of tourists.
Eight rescuers and a doctor set off to the Haramurin River in the Mountain system of Hamar-Daban on the east coast of Lake Baikal to help the Belarusian.
The information department of the Baikal rescue team reports that doctors suspect that the man has appendicitis.
The rescuers cannot evacuate the Belarusian because he weighs about 130 kilos. The help of a helicopter that could not fly because of bad weather conditions is being considered now.
The rescuers noted that the main part of the tourist group have left the itinerary. Only two friends of the ill man are remaining in the forest with him.
