3 weeks ago A pilot and his two young daughters have survived on the wing of a plane for about 12 hours after it crashed and was partially submerged in an icy Alaska lake. They were rescued after being spotted by a good Samaritan pilot helping with the search. The missing plane was flown by a 38-year-old man whose name has not been released. The two girls were members of his immediate family. They were on a sightseeing tour of the Kenai Peninsula when the plane went missing. They were found Monday morning and rescued by helicopter by the Alaska Army National Guard. The pilot who located them says it was a miracle they survived.
