Benjamin Davis has been rescued!

FRANCONIA – A New Hampshire Army National Guard helicopter crew performed a daring operation to rescue a 28-year-old Boston man who got lost on Mount Lafayette yesterday, authorities said.

Lt. Todd Bogardus of New Hampshire Fish and Game said Benjamin Davis was safely plucked off the mountain around 5:30 p.m., after the hovering Black Hawk helicopter had lowered one Guardsman to the ground by cable to reach him. The team member then helped Davis into a rescue seat, and the two were hoisted into the helicopter.
