(across from Victoria BC on the US side) a man accidently left this emergency beacon on. In no time, a Canadian rescue unit arrived by helicopter to rescue the people in trouble. The US Coast Guard never did show up. The Canadians were some of the first to arrive in Katrina but were turned away.
Love the Canadians.
