Large search in Korneuburg: missing 84-year-old from Vienna found

Von WOM

In the Korneuburg district, an extensive search has recently occurred. An 84-year-old man from Vienna had disappeared in the extensive Danube meadows. This Situation triggered a concern that led to an intensive use of rescue workers. The senior was apparently on his own on a walk away from the usual paths and could not find it back.

The alarms of the emergency services took place quickly after relatives had missed the man. The police and fire departments immediately moved out to search for the older gentleman. The Danube meadows are a large and confusing area, which made the search difficult. Despite these challenges, the emergency services mobilized numerous helpers to cover the most comprehensive search area.

The emergency services use different funds, including search dogs and drones, to make the search more effective. The cooperation between the different organizations, including local security forces and volunteers, was crucial. This shows once again how important the networking of emergency services is in crisis situations.

Fortunately, the missing Viennese could finally be found safely. He was located in a overgrown part of the floodplain, where he obviously had difficulty finding a way back. The officials reported a man's state of exhaustion, but his state of health was stable. This rescue operation illustrates how important it is to be particularly mindful for walks in lesser known areas.

The incident has drawn attention to the safety aspects in outdoor activities. The responsible authorities always advise you to be on the road in groups or with a mobile phone, especially in extensive and perhaps less secure areas such as the Danube meadows.
