Alaska have removed the derelict school bus made famous by Into the Wild, a book and film that inspired many people to leave the city and venture out into the untamed wilderness — including a few who never made it back alive.A National Guard helicopter airlifted the wrecked 1940s-era bus out of Denali National Park on Thursday, amid concerns that it was causing too many inexperienced hikers to get lost in pursuit of it.The famous wreck, known as Fairbanks Bus 142 or the “Magic Bus,” has been sitting on the Stampede Trail in Alaska for decades.
However, it became a favourite pilgrimage site after the publication of Into the Wild, a 1996 non-fiction novel by Jon Krakauer.
