Sailor Found on Mount Adams  — A USS Nebraska submariner has
been found on Mount Adams.  The man became separated from his
two climbing partners Sunday night, according to Sgt. Jerrod
Towell of Yakima County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue. He
became disoriented in the fog, Towell said.  Search-and-rescue
teams arrived at the 12,276-foot mountain Sunday night after
getting a call from the man saying he was lost. Then his cell
phone died.  The other two climbers were also trying to find
their shipmate, but they also lost contact with the search teams
when their cell phone batteries ran out.  The missing sailor was
found at about 10:30 a.m.     • Discuss   • Print  Comments » 29
