The family of a 32-year-old mountain climber is suing a county in Oregon after he fell and tumbled six hundred feet, and died after waiting four hours to be rescued. John Thornton Jenkins (pictured), an experience climber form Seattle, was climbing Mount Hood with his girlfriend, Shawna Lamoree (together, inset), on May 7, 2017. He fell near the summit at around 10:40am during a fair, sunny day on the snowy mountain. In the family's lawsuit, they say a series of missteps involving Clackamas County county and the county's 911 call center, lead to a massive delay in getting Jenkins a helicopter rescue, and that if it weren't for the delay he might still be alive today, according to The Oregonian.
