KALISPELL, Mont. - Two days after they were reported killed in a plane crash, two U.S. Forest Service employees emerged from the wilderness, astonishing family members who had believed they were dead and baffling rescuers still sifting through the charred wreckage in a remote part of Montana.

Jodee Hogg, 23, of Billings, and Matthew Ramige, 29, of Jackson Hole, Wyo., were spotted along a highway Wednesday, nearly 48 hours after the wreck that killed three others, officials said.

“You can’t believe the elation,” said Jim Hogg, Jodee’s father.

Flathead County Sheriff Jim Dupont learned there were survivors Wednesday while at the crash site on a mountain south of Glacier National Park. He had been sifting through the burned wreckage and human remains.


Nice to have some good news for a change.

2 out of 5 is > than 0 out of 5. Wow, it is really weird how they were able to make it. Now the question is posed: Would you have stayed near the plane or would you have walked to the road?

Ok, seriously though. That's pretty amazing stuff to see a couple survivors out of that wreckage.

Shouldn't they have stayed near the wreckage? That would have yielded sooner elation, no? Anyhow...

They stayed near the wreckage for over a day and nobody came because it was apprently so remote they couldn't be found right away. They decided to hike it out, despite their injuries (one of them had fractured vertabrae).

yup.

though this obviously worked out for them in this case they should have stayed. any survialist worth a crap will tell you that.
