Norman Ollestad Jr.'s Miraculous Escape from the San Gabriel Mountains | E183

When 11-year-old Norman Ollestad Jr. walked away from a plane crash in the San Gabriel Mountains during a blizzard, his survival story was just beginning. After watching his father die, Norman faced nine hours alone on an icy 8,600-foot mountain with no winter gear, no food, and no rescue coming. This is the remarkable true story of how a boy's lost childhood became his lifeline, and how sometimes the most demanding lessons are the most important ones.
