I'm sure her words were sort of echoing, you know, don't leave the airplane and conserve the food and take care of your brother.

He was getting weaker and weaker is the feeling I had.

During all that day on Sunday, you know, I tried to keep him warm and give him what little food we had.

We had peanuts and maybe chips and a can of Coke.

I think we drank a beer.

We were just, you know, very thirsty and very hungry.

So we were doing whatever we could to survive.

We can remember hearing the sound of the planes overhead looking for us, but the visibility was so poor they couldn't spot us.

And really, we were a needle in a haystack.

So whatever parts of the plane that were exposed before the snowstorm, think about it, they just got covered up.

I remember him getting depressed and negative and saying, you know, I don't think we're going to survive.

You know, I don't know if I was always this positive, but I said, you know, we're going to survive.

Hang in there.

That kind of strength, we all wonder if we have it.

And I don't think you ever get the answer to that question until you're put into the situation.

But I think we all have it when we really need to.

It's just a basic human survival mechanism that we're all born with.

That put in the worst situation, we will perform at our best.

The next morning waking up, it was a beautiful day.

So that probably added some optimism that they're going to find us today.
