18. Broken wing
After taking one of the wings off, they strung it up to the helicopter and prepared for the trip back to the awaiting boat. But disaster strikes at the most inconvenient times.

This, of course, meant spending several more hours bringing the wing back to open ground and re-tying it to the chopper.
