His brother Josh wasted no time getting to work on the first rescue mission. His ever-changing posture further ensnared Jones, even as he wrenched his feet off the ground.”Lead us as we navigate this,” Josh prayed at that moment.
In the meanwhile, Jones cried out, “Save me so I can be with my family.” Susie Motola was the next person to arrive to John’s location after Josh left his brother in search of more assistance.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Jones remarked, “Hi Susie, thanks for coming,” in a really sad tone. “However, I am utterly desperate to escape.” Jones was helped by almost a hundred rescue workers in the hours that followed.
