Parachutist Rescued in Thunder Bay

A daring rescue in Thunder Bay over the weekend.

City Fire crews spent more than 8-hours attempting to rescue a 24-year-old man after he got stuck on Mt. McKay.

Officials say the man was attempting a speed-wing parachute jump when something went wrong and he crashed into rugged terrain.

The rescue effort was hindered by dark and slippery conditions.

The man is now in hospital with multiple injuries.
