Appeal for help|Sahlberg’s and his friend’s car crashed into the forest, the Defense Forces rushed to help.
The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
The content producer and his friends got into a difficult situation at the Defense Forces training area.
The map service’s instructions led the duo to the location.
All’s well that ends well: the two were not punished for unauthorized movement in the area.
Content producer Hanna Sahlberg got into an unexpected situation with his friend on a business trip. The two were shooting advertising material for the city of Kokkola.
After filming, they headed to a nearby beach to camp for the night.
The two followed the directions of the map service, which first led them to Lohtaja’s shooting and training area, Sahlberg says. This is the area of the Defense Forces.
At the sight of the sign about the area, Sahlberg and his friends realized that they couldn’t get there that way.
So the two switched routes. Sahlberg from Jyväskylä didn’t know the area, so they trusted the map service again. No luck this time either.
“We arrived at the edge of the same area from a different direction. We tried to turn away. However, the tires of our car sank into the sand, and we couldn’t get going,” Sahlberg tells HS.
Ring the insurance company didn’t help, since the car wasn’t broken. The towing would have cost several hundreds, and it would not be reimbursed. The two of them couldn’t get the car to start, Sahlberg says.
“We knew we shouldn’t have gone to the Defense Forces area, but we needed help.”
Sahlberg and his friends knocked on the door of the accommodation in the army area. An employee of the Defense Forces came to open. This woke up their colleagues, and both went to help the women.
To the place the military police also came, as Sahlberg and his friends were not allowed in the area.
“There are numerous signs in the Lohtaja training area that say that the area is a training area for the Defense Forces”, a spokesman for the Armored Brigade Jessica Mikola informs HS about security measures by e-mail.
According to Mikola, it is still possible to reach the area on foot, past roadblocks and signs.
Defense forces with the help of the workers, the car was started. The workers also provided directions on where Sahlberg and his friends could stay.
Unauthorized movement in the area of the Defense Forces is prohibited and may be punished.
“We asked if we would be fined. However, the employees were sympathetic and let us go,” describes Sahlberg.
There was no “significant harm to the Defense Forces” in the case of Sahlberg and his friend, and they were not considered to have acted intentionally. Therefore, they were not punished, Panssaribrigaat spokesperson Mikola says.
