Man saved by webcam

A woman watching the sunset on a web cam overlooking the North Sea in northern Germany spotted a man who was lost on the frozen ice and probably saved his life by alerting authorities.
The man had climbed over pack ice to photograph a sunset near the town of St. Peter-Ording, then became disoriented on the ice.  When he was unable to locate the beach, the man began using his camera to flash for help. That got the attention of a woman hundreds of miles away who was watching the sunset on her computer.  The woman contacted local police, who located the man's flashes and guided him to shore by flashing headlights.
