Yesterday in Saarburg at half past ten, a helicopter was observed taking off from the open area behind some trees. The landing of the vehicle, belonging to the local air ambulance service, was carried out to transport a 65-year-old man to hospital after he collapsed with a suspected heart attack.
By the time the helicopter had been scrambled, it was discovered he had just had a severe bout of cramp after swimming 40 lengths in the municipal pool next door.
A local, Hartmut Landei, said, "This is a turning point in Saarburg's history. Even though its journey was wasted, it shows the world that the air ambulance service knows where our town is. This helicopter landing has literally put the town on the map." Other locals then disputed his claim that Saarburg is a town.
