Ep. 83 – The King of the Mountain

The story of an 11 year old boy who had to fight for survival after a plane crash on a mountain

In 1979, a four person Cessna crashed on the frozen peak of a California mountain. One of those people on board was a remarkable 11 year old boy named Norman Ollestad, Jr., and he would be pushed to the limits as he attempted to climb down the mountain alone.

Ep. 26 – The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

In survival stories, we often play the “what if” game, and wonder what we would do differently under the same circumstances. Here are two true stories of people lost in the jungle, including the remarkable tale of a teenage girl who fell 10,000 feet out of an airplane that crashed into the Peruvian rainforest.
