The couple are from Flatbush Brooklyn, NY. They went Wednesday to a wedding in Montreal, Canada, and were scheduled to get back home after the wedding, but they never showed up back in Brooklyn, with all searches to no avail.
Now they have been found on the way back from the wedding, after being in the woods down an embankment in a grove of pine trees for over 24 hours by this NY State Police, the husband (63) dead of hypothermia and his wife (59) with some minor injuries on the way to a local hospital.
The wife said that her husband moved to the car’s back seat to try to get out, and the last time he moved or spoke to her was at about 3 p.m. Thursday, more than 12 hours after it’s believed they became trapped, she desperately yelled to him to wake up as he slipped into unconsciousness in the back seat halfway out the door bleeding. She also said that she tried calling for help but with out cell phone service in the area, the cell was useless.
Hatzolah of Montreal on the scene.

Death on the Northway
Cellphone signals should be accessible along the entire stretch of roadway
It’s good to hear that Gov. Spitzer and state lawmakers are looking into the unconscionable lack of cellphone service along isolated stretches of the Northway. But it’s hard to resist asking the obvious question: Why wasn’t this issue resolved long before Mr. Spitzer came to office and, tragically, before a 63-year-old Brooklyn man died of hypothermia over the weekend after his car ran off a stretch of the Northway at Exit 29 in Essex County. The man’s wife, who was trapped inside the car with him, survived after 32 hours of exposure to frigid temperatures, but doctors have said she suffered a back injury and has frozen feet.
The couple, Alfred and Barbara Langer, had a cellphone and tried to call for help after their car veered off the road into brush and trees, where it was largely obscured from the view of passing motorists. But there is no signal along that stretch of the Northway because cellphone towers have never been constructed there, even though permits for them have been in place for at least three years. The plans call for a tower every fifth of a mile between exits 26 and 34. Had they been constructed, cellphone signals would be available along the entire Northway.
Not surprisingly, some are blaming environmentalists for the lack of cellphone towers because of their past objections to tall towers within the Adirondack Park, where the accident took place. But the accusations are unfair. In truth, the 38-foot towers approved for the Northway three years ago have long been supported by the environmental community, which endorsed them as a compromise to much taller towers sought by wireless companies. The rules of the Adirondack Park allow for structures that are invisible, or nearly so. Thirty-eight feet meets that requirement.
The cellphone towers “could have been in place years ago, but it’s the cellphone companies who decided they can’t make enough money off them,” John Sheehan, a spokesman for the Adirondack Council, told our reporter, Dan Higgins.
If money is the problem, then Mr. Spitzer and the Legislature should act quickly to subsidize service. There is no time to waste. Lives truly hang in the balance.

Chalk Northway death up to economics
While it’s arguable that the world is better off because of cellphones, there’s no question that the most vital function the now-ubiquitous devices serve — the one that above all others justifies their existence — is to report an emergency.
Alfred Langner, the 63-year-old Brooklyn man who froze to death last Friday after driving his car off a remote area of the Adirondack Northway, had done exactly what he was supposed to have done: bought a cellphone, charged it up and took it in the car with him, just in case.
But in his hour of need, when one call would have set in motion a relatively routine rescue operation, he and his wife were unable to get through. He died because an industry couldn’t justify the expense of providing service in such a remote area, and because the state was willing to gamble with a less-than-comprehensive alternative safety net.
Incapacitated by the crash, Langner and his wife couldn’t reach one of the emergency call boxes located on the 70-mile stretch between Exits 26 and 35. Those call boxes, recently reactivated after several years of disrepair, were a compromise: What the state really needed was to force the cellphone industry to pay (roughly $5 million) for the 33 cell towers (each 38 feet tall) that the Adirondack Park Agency and federal government approved five years ago — or pay for the towers itself with a chunk of cellphone tax revenue. Instead, it gambled that an accident like the Langners’ — where the car couldn’t be seen from the roadway and wasn’t found until two frigid days later — wouldn’t occur.
Time to resurrect that plan and figure out a way to get those towers built before another winter passes!
I’m sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Langer and the condition of Mrs. Langer. It is very sad.
Please don’t be fooled by the lies of Mr. LeBrun, the Adirondack Council, and the Adirondack Park Agency. They have refused to allow cell towers that would help because the towers would also benefit local people. They killed Mr. Langer.
It is easy to blame things like capitalism, make some thing out to be the villain, but people made the decisions, not money, and local people want cell towers.
Pine trees average 70 feet tall or more, a 38foot tower doesn’t help.
Jan. 16th, there was an article about a rescue of two hikers in the High Peaks Area, it was reported that the rescuers called 911. There are no phones in the high peaks area, they had to use cell phones. My point, cell phones work for hikers in the high peaks but not for motorists on an interstate highway. This isn’t about capitalists, its about people stopping towers from being put where they can do the greatest good. It was stopped by the Adirondack Park Agency, and the environmental groups making it soo expensive that companies couldn’t and wouldn’t do it.
I write this because of Fred LeBrun’s lies. He has been a long time critic of the Adirondack Park Agency, a critic of them not being strict enough, not of doing what is right.
The rescue people here have a tough job. Cell towers will save lives, its that simple.

Can you hear me now? Money at root of cellphone problem
By FRED LEBRUN
Now comes the blame game over the death of a Brooklyn man along a deserted length of the Northway, a death attributed to the lack of cellphone service.
It’s human nature that we want to take some bureaucrat or politician, some enviro or nerdy engineer by the throat and scream “How dare you?” at them. How could this happen in the 21st century?
The death of Alfred Langer, 63, who was returning from a Montreal wedding, is the sort of nightmare that shakes us all to the core. This could have been you or me, or our parents or children. Yet another nightmare to go sleepless over.
Langer’s Lincoln Town Car slid off the Northway during an ice storm, off the shoulder and into some trees. No one saw it happen. The car was hidden. It was zero out. Alfred and his wife, Barbara, were too injured to leave the car, yet conscious of every moment of what became a 32-hour ordeal before being discovered by a trooper. By then, Alfred Langer was dead of hypothermia.
Earlier frantic attempts to summon help by cellphone were thwarted by a lack of service.
Less than three-fourths of a mile away on the Northway was a live callbox. But because of the Langers’ injuries, that call box could have been on Mars for all the good it could do.
What makes this awful event doubly frustrating is that for years, while negotiations and various plans were see-sawing back and forth over what to do about a lack of cellphone service along about a 60-mile corridor of the Northway, it was predicted more than once that this sort of horror was bound to happen.
Now that it has happened, who actually deserves fault?
Well, let me start from the other end: who is not to blame. I’m a frequent enough critic of the Adirondack Park Agency, but in this case it doesn’t deserve blame. As an agency, it passes judgment on what’s brought before it. The APA doesn’t initiate. Sometimes it has required amendments, but it has never turned down an application related to cellphones.
In fact, a cellphone plan that would have brought seamless service along the entire Northway was worked out and permitted by the APA in 2002. It passed muster with the Adirondack Council and the enviros because each of the 33 cell towers proposed were only 38 feet high and largely invisible. It passed muster with the feds, and that’s critical. The Northway was built with federal funds, and they have jurisdiction over the right of way.
The plan was carefully put together by the state’s consultant, Crown Communication, and also passed muster with our state Department of Transportation and the State Police. A year later, the permit was amended to allow use of a fiber-optics system already in the right of way.
Then the deal blew up. Why? Capitalism, pure and simple. You want a villain? There it is.
There’s no cellphone service along that stretch of the Northway because there’s no money in it. The Pataki administration, you see, had decided any cellphone system would come “at no cost to the state.” Which is admirable, certainly. Unless.
Crown couldn’t find any takers to underwrite construction of the system, fundamentally because there’s no customer base. A chicken-and-egg problem. A lack of people in that part of the world, after all, is why we need the service.
So the state came up with another plan utilizing three 100-foot towers located in rest areas, with three or four smaller towers in between to fill in the service. But that plan will take time to squire through all the approvals and permits.
The Adirondack Council’s John Sheehan says it’s highly unlikely the feds will approve it anyway. Remember, the Adirondack Northway has a scenic easement. That’s why you don’t see billboards or visual clutter along the way.
So what’s the solution here, if any?
Well, the easiest one, and the likeliest one, is to throw state money at the problem and not rely on free enterprise. If safety along that corridor matters enough to us, we’ll have to spend $5 million or so to build the system that’s already permitted.
Otherwise, we just have to wait until the profit motive catches up, and worry all the while how many more Alfred Langers will have to pay the real price of waiting.

does anybody know wich herbst this is ex were the parents live
Maybe someone can arrange a CB gemach for people travelling to Montreal? I am sure lots of people can dig through their old stuff, somewhere under the old sukkah decorations and schach and find lots of CB’s. They used to be very popular.

‘DEAD ZONE’ RAGE ICY HORROR STIRS POL’S CELL PUSH
A Brooklyn man who froze to death in front of his wife after their car skidded off an icy stretch of upstate highway would still be alive if the area had better cellphone coverage, a state lawmaker charged yesterday.
“We are very saddened that this man died needlessly,” state Sen. Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn) said after the funeral for Alfred Langner, who died of hypothermia Thursday, 13 hours after his car skidded off Interstate 87, the Northway, in North Hudson.
“The Northway is a lonely stretch of highway, and here we have a certified EMT who couldn’t save himself because his cellphone wouldn’t work,” Golden said. “His wife had to watch him die. It was a wrongful death.”
Golden said he and state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) today will seek legislation calling for the immediate construction of cellphone towers to eliminate the Northway’s 50-mile zone without coverage.
Langner, a 63-year-old father of three, and his wife, Barbara, 58, were returning home from a wedding in Montreal when they veered off the highway at around 2 a.m. Thursday. Barbara, whose back was broken in the crash, leaving her immobile, tried several to call 911 but was unable to get a signal.
“My mother told me this morning that she was in such pain toward the end that she yelled out, ‘God how much longer do I have to stay here? I can’t last any longer,’ ” son Rueven Langner, 36, said last night.
“Within seconds of that, a cop yelled down to her, ‘Are you OK down there?’ That’s the hand of God working.”
Barbara Langner was rescued at around 10 a.m. Friday – after spending 32 hours in the subfreezing conditions – and is in fair condition at a Burlington, Vt., hospital after back surgery.
Daughter Chana Herbst said her mom said the couple kept telling one another they would pull through. “The miracle is that my mother did survive,” Herbst said.
At Alfred Langner’s funeral in Borough Park yesterday, his grief-stricken son Mechel addressed his father.
“Mommy saw you were full of blood. Who could ever believe you could die in a car accident? You were as strong as a wall,” said Mechel, who had flown in from Jerusalem with his brother, Rueven.
The family was joined by hundreds of mourners who gathered at the Shomrie Hadas Funeral Home in Borough Park, spilling out to the sidewalk to pay final respects to Langner, an EMT with the Hatzolah ambulance service for 30 years.
“My father was a man, a good man,” Rueven told the mourners. “God should open heaven and have mercy on him.”
Adirondack Council spokesman John Sheehan said his group helped the state get permits in 2002 to build 32 new towers that would cover the Northway’s dead zone.
He said a conglomerate of cellphone providers is blocking the plan – instead pushing for three 200-foot towers that could also provide service to towns near the highway.
Sheehan said that under that system, “there would still be a dead spot where these people went off the road.”
Frozen hubby’s final words: We’re going to live
As life drained from his freezing body, a dying Brooklyn man used his final breaths to assure his terrified wife they would be pulled from their crashed car and survive.
“We’re going to live. We’re going to live,” Ephraim (Alfred) Langner promised wife Barbara before succumbing to hypothermia, his son told mourners at a funeral service yesterday.
The couple – unable to get a cell-phone signal – was trapped for 32 hours before help arrived on the lonely stretch of mountainous Adirondack Park highway.
“How can this happen? Why?” asked son Mechel Langner, who flew from Israel for the Hasidic service at Shomrei Hadas Chapels in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
Barbara Langner, 58, underwent back surgery yesterday at the Fletcher Allan Health Care Center in Burlington, Vt. She remains in stable condition, but doctors are struggling to save her feet, which were frostbitten during the ordeal, authorities said.
The 63-year-old father of three and his wife were driving home from a Montreal wedding when their 1989 Lincoln Town Car skidded off the southbound I-87 highway near North Hudson about 2 a.m. Thursday, police said.
Thick vegetation hid the vehicle from passing cars, and tree branches pinned the doors shut, police said.
Ephraim Langner was able to force open the rear driver’s side door and push his foot outside as Barbara, who was warmly dressed in a knee-length coat, earmuffs and boots, remained stuck in the passenger seat, friends and rescue workers said.
But the pair was not discovered until 10 a.m. Friday, when a passerby spotted a glint in the foliage and made a U-turn, attracting a state trooper, police said.
Ephraim Langner had slipped into unconsciousness about seven hours earlier, his wife told rescuers. And she had nearly given up hope.
“God,” she pleaded, according to her son Reuven, 36. ” ‘How much longer do I have to stay here? I can’t last much longer.’ Within seconds of that, one of the troopers said, ‘Are you okay down there?’ ”
Friends said the couple turned down an offer to stay overnight in Montreal so Ephraim could get home in time for work at the state Department of Insurance in Manhattan on Thursday. Langner’s relatives vowed yesterday to push for a cellular tower along the desolate roadway.
“This man died needlessly,” said state Sen. Marty Golden (R-Brooklyn). “Had the cell phone been working, they both would be alive today.”
How do you HEAR these remarks??
Ok this makes me mad first of all baruch dayan emets! Second of all the wife couldnt get out of the car cuz she had a broken back and couldnt move her body.
HOW DARE you frummies even suggest a homicide and the wife didnt try to help.
This is such a painful time for the whole family.
I cant believe what i am hearing from these remarks
Where is your compassion??
http://WWW.wcbstv.com talks about the story
hatzolah of montreal was first notified by friday 530 am when rabbi feig got a call from his son in law
that he is missing for two days so rabbi feig called the border to see if the car passed but was told the didnt scan that licence plate so they assumed he didnt cross the border so they focused on the montreal side of the border until a godsend happend..
can anyone here find out the names of the Troopers and the Off duty NYPD Officer who made the discovery?
If people/family were aware that the couple was missing, why was there no major search by Hatzoloh and Chaveirim? Especially if they didn’t answer their cell phone?
It is incomprehendible that there are still cellular “dead-spots” in this day and age in a so called “modern” society. Even third-world countries are covered end-to-end on travel areas. Our new Governor has recently announced special upstate revitalizing camapaigns to promote growth and revenue to those remote parts of the region.
Mr. Governor, this basic, elementary level issue of uninterrupted cellular service would be a good place to start. I myself travel for business purposes and know how undesireable it is to not be able to utilize my long commute for business calls etc. Every government seeking advancement knows it must invest to reap future benefit. There are enough investors, assumingly, interested to capitalize, on the cellular markets to easily become carriers who earn commisions off any cellular providers customers. I can’t imagine that the taxes and fees collected by the state won’t make it profitable.
Now with the prevalant use of cell phones there is no reason not to have cell phone towers – especially around the highway – so people could use them ESPECIALLY in case of an emergency. There are so many new ways they can hide the cell towers in “tree look alikes” just as they do on the Garden State Parkway.
A suit should be filed against all responsible parties and agencies for the lack of towers so that they should be put in.
The Environmentalist Wakkos can not be allowed to win this one!
Anon at 12:29- MURDERER!!
are you crazy, who has on mind right now a lawsuit, let the person first get to rest and then talk about this, you are so un sensitive
and beside the point who are you going to sue, they had good intension when they were blocking installing this huge ugly towers, this is a nice since area, you cant have all this giant company’s mess it up.
maybe we organize something to send to the governor that he should way into this?
Hopefully they will be able to sue the Adirondack Park Agency which had a hand in the death here by preventing cellphone companies from installing towers in the area.
Shloma; would u know who is responsible for not having phone reception in NY in 2007?
why isn’t there any phone coverage on that spot?
on behalf of the family we all want
to thank RABBI MAYER FEIG for doing all he can to help as a new york state police liason and hatzolah of montreal coordinator..
“The couple were in the vehicle. They attempted to dial 911 on a cell phone and there was NO COVERAGE,” Jaquish said.
“They need to get some cell phone coverage. That area through there is even more DANGEROUS because there’s NO COVERAGE there.”
She said she can’t be certain, but “he might have lived had they gotten to him sooner.”
Her husband stopped talking to her at 3 yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. He lived for at least 13 hours. He tried to get out of the car but couldn’t. He died.”
“This is just ridiculous,” Bashaw said. “If there had been CELL PHONE COVERAGE when the accident occurred someone could have been dispatched to at least give them a fighting chance.”
“I understand living up here and things being what they are. There has to be a compromise between what the APA (Adirondack Park Agency) wants to do and the safety of people traveling up here.
“Something definitely needs to happen. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.”
————————
Is there more to be said about these Environmentalists/APA (Adirondack Park Agency) people???
It’s quite obvious, that they’re the ones responsible for this horrible (& horrific) accident! & they ought’a be prosecuted!
In-order to preserve the looks of the of this gorgeous woods, & to save some small cockroach that might be an endangered-species, they’re willing to spare the life of a human-being!
This is what’s called cruelty, inhuman, ruthless & LIBERALISM,
They tend to call themselves liberals, but they are the worst dictators of modern-history!
Its sickening that a state like NY people should die because of a lack of cell service, we here in the Middle East have beter cell service then some places on that major roadway as the I-87.
Shame on the state law makers for allowing this, shame on all this big phone co. for not doing anything until now, and a person had to die because of you.
let’s see if anyone would open his mouth and do something now.
Keep it up Shloma we love you, you are doing a great job and a major service for the people.
R’ Shloima– please remove that post where mr. williamsburg calls the wife a name. It hurts the family and makes this site look very bad.
An update I was hoping to see. Baruch Hashem! May you always deliver good news to us, Shloima!
where and when is the levaya?
Dear Mr. (claiming to be a) Villiamsburg’er
You’re a total disgust & disgrace to a wonderful community that is located in Williamsburg!
While you’re a nut-case, & posting such RUDE comments, why do it under the name of a huge community that knows much better than you ‘skunk-stinker’???
Are you ready to take upon the pain of this suffering woman, if she’d ever come around to read this article????
While I’m pretty sure that you’re NOT a wiliamsburg’er, cuz I don’t know anyone from the Williy with sooo much rudeness in them…..
There’s no excuse in the world to name people, & especially if you don’t even know them, & their story!
Now, the biggest audacity above all, you’re asking (w/capital & small letters) to be you ‘dan l’kaf z’chus’ while you did the opposite!!!
(What a hypocrite!)
By the way, Issac Lieder went on Friday to clean the scene and drive the Niftar back to NY after Shabbos.
HEY MR. WILLIAMSBURG- THE POINT IS NOT DON L’KAF Z’CHUS BUT RATHER DO NOT SAY BAD ABOUT PEOPLE!!!
It’s gonna be Sunday.
Williamsburg:
It doesn’t really matter how it was initially worded. Your comment was still insensitive in reference the one fact that was really clear. That being that her husband had passed away. It would not have hurt to have been a bit more careful when commenting on such a tragic event.
when was the funeral?
Sorry Guys But I Posted My Commen Before ShLoMa Had Any Details So The Way The Story Was Put Down Sounded Really Creepy , Later On He Changed The Story With All Exact Clear Info So Next Time Be Dan LeKaF ZChiS.
R’ SHLOIMA WHY NOT REMOVE THE COMMENT WHERE IT CALLS THE WIFE A NAME. LET’S RESPECT THOSE WHO ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN.
Baruch Dayan Emes. I felt my heart suddently drop when I read this terrible news. There has been story after story about recent car accidents and tragic deaths. I don’t know any of the people involved, but the news is still hard to bear.
May The One Above grant his wife a full and speedy refuah shelayma. May Hashem comfort the family in this difficult time and may they know no further tzaros.
NEBACH, NEBACH, NEBACH!! Hamokom Yenachem Eschem…M’zul mer nisht vissen fin kain tza’ar!! Boruch Dayan Ha’emes!!
One dead, one hurt after I-87 wreck
Couple stranded in frigid cold after accident

January 27, 2007
NORTH HUDSON — A Brooklyn man died and his wife suffered serious injuries after their car crashed off the Northway early Thursday morning and lay hidden from view until around 10 a.m. Friday.
The woman tried to summon help by cell phone, but no coverage was available.
At 1 a.m. Thursday, the couple went through the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in North Hudson on I-87 southbound, telling Border Patrol agents they were returning from a wedding in Montreal.
At 9:53 a.m. Friday, they were found in their car after having driven off the highway near mile marker 105 in the Town of North Hudson, according to State Police in Ray Brook.
The couple’s family began calling State Police Friday morning saying that the two failed to return home.
A search began and Westport-based State Police and an off-duty officer located the car.
Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said the officers saw a glint in the woods.
“The couple were in the vehicle. They attempted to dial 911 on a cell phone and there was no coverage,” Jaquish said.
The car — a maroon 1989 Lincoln Town Car — was located and its driver Alfred B. Langner, 63, was found dead.
His wife, Barbara P. Langner, 58, was found conscious in the vehicle.
She was suffering from lower back and cold-related injuries.
Mrs. Langner was first taken by Schroon Lake ambulance to Elizabethtown Community Hospital before being transferred to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
Mr. Langner’s body was taken to CVPH Medical Center for examination.
State Police were still investigating the accident Friday night and could not provide further details.
The section of Northway they were on is very remote, Jaquish said.
“They need to get some cell phone coverage. That area through there is even more dangerous because there’s no coverage there.”
Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad officer Patty Bashaw said she was called to the location because an advanced life-support technician was needed.
Schroon Lake Ambulance had gotten a call that the crash was one mile north of exit 29 southbound, Bashaw said.
“It was a really old car. Between 2 and 3 a.m. they had the car wreck,” Bashaw said. “The car went airborne. It landed on its wheels behind a huge rock and took down some trees.”
She said she can’t be certain, but he might have lived had they gotten to him sooner.
“It (the car) was totally not visible to a trooper doing patrols. Schroon Lake gets the call at five minutes to 10 this (Friday) morning. Her husband stopped talking to her at 3 yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. He lived for at least 13 hours. He tried to get out of the car but couldn’t. He died.”
The couple was not found until about 32 hours after the accident occurred.
Mr. Langner was a retired EMT.
“This is just ridiculous,” Bashaw said. “If there had been cell phone coverage when the accident occurred someone could have been dispatched to at least give them a fighting chance.”
“The first three letters of the vehicle’s licence plate were EMT, so it really hits home.”
“I understand living up here and things being what they are. There has to be a compromise between what the APA (Adirondack Park Agency) wants to do and the safety of people traveling up here.
“Something definitely needs to happen. This is not right.”
The woman’s feet were frozen, Bashaw said.
“At least she had some protective clothing. She had earmuffs, a down-filled coat. She was immobile because of a back injury.”

To anonymous:
I never said that this theory was mine. In fact I clearly said I did not believe it.
Of course it was all for a reason only Hashem knows. I’m disgusted at those people who come up with stupid theories and pass them on as fact.Who are we? All knowing sons of G-d??
Like I said before. Only Hashem knows.
I made it very clear that I was only repeating what I had heard from others, NOT that this was my belief.
Right now they are talking about preventing the need to amputate on Mrs. Langner. She was suffering from frostbite and they are not quite sure yet what the matzav is.
She needs us to daven, not sit here and judge and bash each other’s comments.
Letzzz, well said. Come pick up your drella.

The sons called here earlier this morning- they knew that they were searching for their father.
A fax has already been sent to Israel telling the sons to book the 1am flight out after shabbos.
They should get here early Sunday morning.
There is a theory about the cop who made that illegal u turn. There are people who think he was making that turn because he knew about the car there. They think the cop maybe saw something the night before, and then came back the next day with a guilty conscience.
I dont believe it, but Ive heard the thought from several people already. It seems too co-oincidental for the NYPD officer to have just made an illegal turn like that.
As I read the thirty some comments posted about a story which can only be classified as a tragedy, I can’t help but conclude that some of you are in desparate need of professional help. That some of you may be married and fathers of children is a very scary thought. And if you are posting these comments in jest, you need help immediately and Hakodosh Boruch Hoo should shield the rest of us from you!
LET’S JUST HOPE THE IMBECILIC MORON, WHO FAULTED THE WIFE FOR NOT DOING ANYTHING, LEARNED HIS LESSON.
ONE CAN JUST IMAGINE THE HORRIFIC SITUATION SHE WAS IN FOR THE 36 HOURS, RACHMONO LITZLON.
