How Did An 11-Year-Old Survive a Plane Crash And Climb Down A Mountain

This insane story of survival is a movie waiting to happen. In 1979 Norman Ollestad Jr, his father and father's girlfriend were in a plane crash, and Norman Jr was the only survivor. In today's educational animated cartoon video we look at how an 11 year old survived a plane crash and a freezing mountain.

[@velvetmidnight9535]

dollar c.g when you live miles away from the school and constantly showed up late for 1st period in Cali where it’s usually 80-90 degrees out you’d know who’ll complain... And not complain more like just want a excuse off 1 day. It’s was an exaggeration for explaining the joke
