Retired News Anchor Rescued by Helicopter After Falling Into Georgia Ravine

Carol Sbarge, a former WSB-TV anchor, was airlifted 3.6 miles to safety following a hiking accident in Chattahoochee National Forest.

Carol Sbarge, a retired news anchor, fell into a ravine near Panther Creek Falls in September while hiking with her boyfriend.
The accident left her with a broken foot in three places, requiring a metal plate and eight screws during surgery.
Due to the remote location and lack of cell service, another hiker had to alert emergency responders after hiking out to find help.
Habersham County Emergency Services conducted their first-ever helicopter rescue at Panther Creek Falls, airlifting Sbarge to a hospital 3.6 miles away.
Sbarge expressed deep gratitude for the rescue crew, praising their bravery and dedication in executing the complex operation.
