Where do you live NotMinus? Here's an update for your mysterious phone call, you may rest easy, but it certainly is unpleasant news.
Today in the newspaper the news of this certain "Ben von Hardenberg" appeared front page of the section for local news. The internet didn't carry the article, it had a blurb
"CHOPPER PILOT KILLED
Over the weekend, the forest fires claimed another victim. A helicopter pilot died when his chopper went down about 80 kilometres east of 100 Mile House.
The Mission man was fighting the Bonaparte Lake fire just north of Kamloops. He was in a Bell 205 helicopter owned by Gemini Helicopters.
RCMP say it is too early to say what went wrong, but a recovery effort is under way."
The newspaper article carried much more details with the reporting though. The guy's 33, ready to marry and move to Australia next month so I doubt this is your father. But the coincidence is marvelous to have seen it today, though exceptionally depressing. [on a side note, recently BC's been facing a lot of fires that's thus far destroyed communities, towns everything.]
