'Into The Wild' Abandoned Bus Airlifted From Remote Alaska Location

A 1940s-era Fairbanks city bus that became a sometimes deadly attraction has been removed by helicopter from its remote Alaskan location.

Used since as an emergency shelter, it became well-known after John Krakauer's 1996 book โ€œInto the Wildโ€ and a 2007 movie with the same name popularised the story of 24-year-old wanderer Chris McCandless who sadly died there alone in 1992 after a 114-day stay.

Alaska Army National Guard executed an extraction mission via a CH-47 Chinook helicopter over Healy, Alaska.
