Canadian ship rescues Russian helicopter pilot from ice floe
Search and rescue officials say a helicopter pilot who was missing near Baffin Island has been found safe. Joint Task Force Atlantic says on its Twitter feed just before 7 a.m. that the Russian pilot — Sergey Ananov — was spotted on an ice floe, “alive and well.” They say the Canadian Coast Guard ship Pierre Radisson picked up the pilot and was headed to Iqaluit, Nunavut.
