After the Crash: 15hr Fight For Survival - AK

A harrowing tale of survival in the back country of Alaska after a horrific plane crash into a mountainside. This kind of thing isn't rare and most of the time totally fatal. The father is absolutely amazing. Read on:

Chase dipped the plane close to the ground, looking for clearer sky. The Cessna climbed, then dipped again, according to the Transportation Safety Board report.

Then the pilot must have spotted something to his left, Donald said.

The plane banked hard to the right. The clouds broke just in time for Donald to see the mountainside fill the windshield.

"There was so many thoughts that went through my head so quickly," he told the Portland (Maine) Press Herald in a recent interview. "I remember saying, 'Please God, protect my family.' "
