Hiker who was spun around during viral helicopter rescue ‘thought she was going to die’

Remember that dramatic spinning helicopter rescue? Well, it turns out it was as terrifying as it looked.

Katalin Metro, the poor hiker who was spun around uncontrollably while she was being rescued, “thought she was going to die” during the incident, according to her husband.

Metro’s ordeal became national news last week when video of her being lifted up to a helicopter from Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona went viral.
