9 hikers rescued by text message to dad!

Link: The New Straits Times Online…..

When Wong Mei Seen and eight friends could not find their way down Gunung Nuang at Hulu Langat on Saturday night, she did what came naturally: She SMSed her father.

That’s a good use of the technology!

  • Ewan, I *hope* this came in through a feed or the like, and you weren’t randomly browsing the New Straights Times on the off chance you’d see a story on SMS ;)

  • I have it on good authority that Ewan has it on subscription and delivered daily to the 99th floor of his penthouse suite in London. I quite like the newspaper too, my cats enjoy going to the loo on such high quality news stories ;)
