ESCAPE FROM THE CANYON
Early in the morning of May 5, 2005, Yousuf Jacob left
his home in the city of Samsun and headed west across
Vezirköprü through Şahinkaya Canyon in his truck. A
passionate climber was planning a day hiking alone
in the Şahinkaya Canyon, Turkey’s second-biggest
canyon. With the magnificent landscape stretching for
miles all around, he parked the truck and continued on
his bike until the track ended. While he was riding his
bike, he thought what a lovely day without his phone
notification beeps. Suddenly, he realized that he hadn’t got his phone. He thought he might
have forgotten to take it with him and the phone could have been in his home. Then he
realized that he had stopped at the gas station and talked with his colleague, then he had
gone to the toilets. He said “It can’t be at home. I must have put it somewhere at the gas
station.” in a certain tone. After deciding to take his phone back on the way home, he started
to climb down into the canyon when he put his hand on a boulder and it came loose. He
lost his balance for a second and slipped down to the bottom of the canyon. The boulder
came crashing after him and landed on his arm. In a few seconds the outing had turned
into a nightmare. Above, a sliver of blue sky was all he could see. But a Syrian family, a boy
and a girl with their parents, were hiking by the canyon. At the bottom, it was impossible for
Mustafa to shout for help and even if he had done, it might have been pointless. To make
matters worse, he hadn’t a mobile phone and hadn’t told anyone except his colleague where
he was going. He thought he should have been more careful about keeping his belongings.
All he had was 330 ml of water, two sandwiches, an apple and a small knife. The nightmare
continued for almost two hours as he tried to keep his spirits up and think of a solution. But, at
this critical point, luck intervened and the Syrian family saw him at the bottom and called the
ambulance immediately. They couldn’t help him except calling for the ambulance because
they saw that he had been injured and his hand must have had a serious pain. They wouldn’t
have seen him if their daughter hadn’t dropped down her necklace to the canyon. Amazingly,
he managed to rappel down a 20-metre cliff with a bandaged hand and get out of the canyon.
They-Yousuf and the Syrian family-started walking towards the road thanking and wishing
good luck to each other.
