A 14 year old boy miraculously survived a helicopter crash and a night in the cold temperatures north of Anchorage Alaska. According to the NTSB, the chopper was carrying state Department of Administration technicians who were working on radio site maintenance and the pilot and the three passengers were killed.

The B2 Aerostar 352 went down in heavy snow on Tuesday and the bad weather prevented an immediate air search. On Wednesday morning a state trooper helicopter spotted the wreckage and Air National Guard jumpers rescued the 14 year old. Frieda wonders why a young boy was on board a government task oriented flight in the first place - is that allowed?
