Massachusetts man dies after rescue from New Hampshire hike by Black Hawk helicopter
A Massachusetts man was airlifted by a Black Hawk helicopter after a medical emergency while hiking in a remote area with his family.
In a news release, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department announced the agency was notified around 2:14 p.m. Tuesday about a 52-year-old man experiencing a medical emergency between two summits on the Kinsman Ridge Trail in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.
The agency said the trail is located approximately 4 miles from the nearest trailhead, which made a quick rescue response difficult.

Due to the remote location of the hiker, the New Hampshire Army National Guard deployed a Black Hawk helicopter to assist in the rescue.
Medics reached the 52-year-old hiker just before 4 p.m.

They continued performing life-saving measures that family members and Good Samaritan hikers began, until he was taken down to an ambulance by Littleton Rescue and Fire at 4:40 p.m., the department said.

The federal government has activated the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing in connection with the war with Iran.
“I’ve had a briefing myself, a classified briefing, but it’s really important on the messaging on this that we really coordinate with the Pentagon,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte told reporters during a press briefing following Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting.
Ayotte said she was unable to share additional details about the nature of the New Hampshire National Guard’s activity related to the conflict, including how many guard members have been activated or what role they are playing.
“We’re going to respect what messaging comes out of the Pentagon just to make sure that our men and women in uniform are fully protected and that we aren’t providing any information that could be used in a way that would be harmful to them,” Ayotte said.
In a statement Thursday, Ayotte said the unit had been deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of the operation.
Earlier this week, Pentagon officials confirmed that members of the Vermont National Guard were involved in attacks against Iran over the weekend, though our news partners at Vermont Public were not able to confirm additional details on the nature of the operation.
During the briefing with local reporters, Ayotte also stressed her support for servicemembers and those close to them.
“I have such respect for our men and women in uniform,” Ayotte said. “As you know, I come from a military family, and they have our full support, and we appreciate them and their families, and obviously anyone who is serving right now, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost someone that they love.”
