Pilot Peter DeLeo describes his ordeal after his plane crashed in the Sierra Nevadas in late November 1994 and he embarked on a two-week hike through the mountains, with multiple injuries, to find help for his two passengers.

In October 2005, two mountaineers climbing in the High Sierra found the mummified remains of a man in a World War II uniform entombed in the ice. The discovery started an investigation and the four-man crew on a routine navigation training flight in 1942, one hundred and fifty miles off-course from its reported destination, were found. The cause of the crash was bad weather, bad luck, and bad timing. And then in 2007, the second body of the flight crew was found in the glacier.
