The resident called 911 and the girl was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities found the aircraft a couple of hours later and confirmed that the pilot and three other passengers were killed.

January 3, 201511 yr You can't get me up in one of these little planes. One gust of wind and boom. You wonder about people who think they can take a few lessons and think they are ready to fly their own plane. Not saying the case here but these accidents happen far too often.
January 3, 201511 yr This 7 year old girl walked thru dense forest bare footed in the dark cold rain for maybe up to 2 hours until she reached a home for help after what she had just been through and witnessed. It absolutely breaks your heart and hard to come up with words

It absolutely breaks your heart and hard to come up with words So sad. I cage even begin to imagine what she is going through.
January 3, 201511 yr So much for this little girl to deal with, now AND for the forsee able future. Prayers sent that she has the support and love she'll need to reconcile these events and move forward.
