If you aren't familiar,-- the subject of"Into the Wild" -- died there in 1992.
Despite the cautionary tale, many people have continued to venture to the bus, which has resulted in multiple rescues ... including of 5 Italian tourists earlier this year. A Belarus woman also died in 2019 while attempting to hike to the bus, prompting local officials to call for its removal.The Alaska Army National Guard did the job Thursday ... throwing chains around the bus and using a helicopter to airlift it.

McCandless died of starvation on the bus after living there for 114 days. He couldn't reach help due to the swollen Teklanika River. The bus is a 1940s-era Fairbanks city bus that was used by a construction company working on an access road, and was abandoned after their work was complete in 1961.
