There were 11 people
hanging on to a single
rope that suspended them from a helicopter trying
to bring them to
safety. Ten were men; one was a woman.
They all decided that one
person would have to let go because if they
didn't, the rope would
break and all of them would die.
No one could decide who it
should be.
