Freaky Friday - The Bizarre Story of the Woman Who Joined Her Own Search Party
Title: The Bizarre Story of the Woman Who Joined Her Own Search Party in Iceland
In 2014, a woman on vacation in Iceland made headlines around the world when she was found to be in the search party looking for herself. The bizarre mix-up occurred in Iceland’s southern volcanic region near the island’s Eldgjá canyon, a remote but popular walking area for visiting tourists.
The woman in question was reported to have failed to return to her tour bus. The tour company driver waited for an hour, but when the woman failed to turn up, he alerted police and search teams were dispatched to the area shortly afterwards. They started combing the barren treeless hillsides looking for an Asian woman described as 5ft 2in and wearing dark clothing.
It wasn’t until about 50 people had joined the search party that the missing woman realized she was the person they were looking for. According to reports, the woman had changed her clothes and didn’t recognize the description of herself that was being circulated. She then joined the search party, not realizing that she was the subject of the search.
The search was called off once the woman was found safe and sound, and the incident quickly became a viral sensation. It’s a strange and amusing story that highlights the importance of paying attention to details and being aware of your surroundings, even when you’re on vacation.
