ALTERNATE ENDINGS: Sliding downhill is an exhilarating winter sport. People of all ages can participate, and use all kinds of containers, from large toboggans to plastic disks or even cardboard boxes.

A WRONG TURN WITH GPS

A WRONG TURN WITH GPS: The impact with the ambulance crushed the driver side compartment, killing the Airman and the passenger directly behind him instantly. The front-seat passenger, who suffered severe internal and external injuries, was removed from the wreckage and taken to a local hospital where he eventually succumbed to those injuries. The backseat passenger side occupant suffered only minor lower extremity injuries. (Photo by Master Sgt. Ivan Martinez)
