A pair of hikers became so lost in an alligator-infested swamp that an all-out plan was put into action that saw everything from a police helicopter to night vision goggles being used to help coordinate their rescue, together with a team along the ground.The pair became disorientated while working their way through the 2,500-acre Cypress Creek Wilderness Preserve near Tampa in west-central Florida on December 23. At one point the men were up to their knees in the murky water. As the light slowly faded, the hikers knew they were in trouble and called the emergency services knowing they were in an environment crawling with alligators, snakes and fire ants.
