Rescue Team Finds Skiers Thanks to MP3 Player

A pair of French tourists on a ski trip in Switzerland found themselves lost in the woods late Friday. They called rescue officials who began a search, but the pair's cell phone batteries died before they could be reached.
Amazingly, the helicopter rescue team was able to spot the light from their MP3 player on the steep hillside as they flew over and saved the two before severe hypothermia set in.
So now there is a legitimate reason to have an iPod in your emergency survival kit. [From: Yahoo! News]
