The abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska — made famous by the book and film 'Into the Wild' — has been airlifted away. Hikers from around the world have attempted to visit the bus, but many failed and had to be rescued. Some even died.
The abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska -- made famous by the book and film"Into the Wild" -- has made its first journey in decades. This time by air.
The decision to remove the bus in coordination with the Department of Natural Resources was made out of concern for public safety, the guard said in a statement. In its current location, near Healy, Alaska, the bus has drawn people into danger of the Alaska wilderness.Visiting the dilapidated vehicle became a kind of pilgrimage for hikers ever since Jon Krakauer's book was published in 1996; a movie adaptation was released in 2007.

A few days later, he came upon the abandoned bus and lived there for about three months before deciding to head back to civilization.
Defeated, he turned around and headed back toward the bus, where he survived for about a month before succumbing to death in August 1992.
