The man and his children that went missing while hunting down a Christmas tree as they do annually at this time were all found healthy yesterday bringing his wife, family and friends a well deserved holiday gift. How nice it was to see a story like this one began come to a close with good news for a change instead of the more frequent tragic outcomes the news usually produces and promotes.
I had just watched the wife make an appearance on Fox news when minutes later it was announced that they were found in good health. What great news that was to hear.
Dad, 3 Kids Alive After 3 Days in Snow:
My Way News - "PARADISE, Calif. (AP) - A father and three children who vanished on a Christmas tree-cutting trip in the Northern California mountains were found alive Wednesday after huddling in a culvert for warmth during three days of heavy snow.
'I'm just amazed how well they did,' Lisa Sams said after seeing her children and ex-husband for the first time since they were rescued. 'It was like butterflies in my stomach, like if you were going to go on a very first date.'
A California Highway Patrol helicopter crew spotted Frederick Dominguez atop a small bridge and landed nearby, sinking into 2 feet of snow, flight officer David White said. The family had taken shelter in a culvert beneath the bridge and stomped 'help' in the snow, White said." continued
Here's his side of the story given at a news conference after their dramatic rescue yesterday.
Man Lost in Snow Stayed Strong for Kids
PARADISE, Calif. (AP) - A man who was lost in the mountains along with his three children for three days during a snowstorm said he was terrified they wouldn't make it out alive, but he remained strong for his children and relied on his faith.
Frederick Dominguez and the children, who vanished while looking for a Christmas tree, were rescued Wednesday by a helicopter from a snowy ravine, just as another storm was bearing down in the foothill region about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
"You just want your kids to be safe and you're just praying, 'God, keep my kids alive,'" Dominguez told reporters at Feather River Hospital in Paradise.
The rescue came as relatives and friends were starting to lose hope. One snowstorm had covered the family's tracks, and an even bigger storm was hours away from burying the four even deeper. continued
